Mint highball cocktail
Is the lemon peel merely decorative? Well, it’s not edible, definitely. However, it adds a wonderful aroma to this cold drink. And you know how it is with any food or drink — it’s not just how it tastes but how it smells too.
Ingredients
- ½ cup creme de menthe
- 1 cup ginger ale
- lemon juice to taste
- lemon peel to garnish
Instructions
- Start with the traditional ratio of one part creme de menthe and two parts ginger ale.
- Make adjustments to suit your taste. Perhaps, you want a one to one ratio? Why not?
- When you’re happy with the ratio, try adding lemon juice a little at a time. No more than half a teaspoonful at a time, in fact, until you get that perfect contrast.
- Pour the mixed drink into glasses, add ice and garnish with lemon peel.
- Serve immediately.
