every year when the air begins to warm, it just so happens that i find myself falling in love with another summertime drink, which almost always contains a good chunk of citrus fruit, usually meaning a lime. as fate would have it, i have indeed found this years midsummer crush, only just finally coming together within the last few weeks limes and all. this one is super simple, a little sweet, and as always ice cold for those hot summer days.
for my current favorite summertime drink all you will need is:
1 lime
fresh mint
ginger ale
iced cubes
your favorite glass
a spoon for stirring
a sharp knife
& a hot day
fill a glass full of iced cubes. squeeze the juice from one half lime over the ice and then place into the cup. set the other lime half aside for later. drop 1-2 mint leaves into the glass and stir together, then add the ginger ale, about one cup. garnish with a lime wedge and enjoy!
