This lemonade packs a ton of fresh flavor. And the addition of ginger beer gives it an extra kick! It’s perfect for poolside sipping and is a great nonalcoholic fancy drink to serve at parties or with friends! —AS
SERVES 2
1 cup (240 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ cup (120 ml) nonalcoholic ginger beer
½ cup (12 g) packed fresh mint
4 tbsp (50 g) sugar
2 cups (480 ml) sparkling mineral water
2–3 cups (480–720 g) ice
Lemon slices, for garnish
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish
Combine all of the ingredients except the lemon and mint in a high-speed blender until smooth, cracking the top just slightly while blending to release the air pressure inside. Serve with lemon slices and fresh mint sprigs!
Note: If your blender doesn’t allow for air to be released while blending, blend everything BUT the sparkling water together and just stir that in afterwards to avoid a blender-splosion!
