Delicious Ginger Beer Mint Mocktail Fizz

Prep Time:5

Total Time:5

Using a shaker, or a medium mason jar, add 4 fresh mint leaves and the pure maple syrup.
Using a muddler, or the handle of a wooden spoon, gently press down and twist on the mint leaves 3-4 times.
Next, add the fresh lime juice and a few ice cubes. Place the lid on the shaker, or mason jar, and shake vigorously 5-10 times to combine.
Pour mixture through a cocktail strainer, or tea strainer, into an 8 ounce rocks glass filled with crushed ice.
Top off with ginger beer.
Garnish with lime wedge and 1-2 mint leaves.
ENJOY!

Feel free to double, triple, or even quadruple this recipe. Super easy to make for guests.
You can easily swap out lime juice for lemon, orange, or grapefruit juice. Play around and see which one you like best.
Instead of maple syrup, feel free to use either honey, date syrup, or even simple syrup if you wish.
To make this mocktail completely sugar-free, you can swap out the maple syrup sweetener for a few drops of liquid stevia or 1 tablespoon of monkfruit.
It is important to add the ginger beer as your very last step - after you have used your shaker. This keeps the fizz and carbonation fresh.
This is a mocktail, a non-alcoholic drink. However, if you'd like to add alcohol, vodka, gin, or tequila would be the best choices.
To make this mocktail in advance, prepare the steps all the way up to shaking the mixture. Then, instead of pouring it into a rock glass, remove the muddled mint leaves, and keep the rest in the mason jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
When you are ready to make your mocktail, continue with the recipe by pouring the mason jar mixture into a rock glass filled with crushed ice. Then pour over the ginger beer, garnish, and enjoy!
