Fizz and rickey is essential to have in the summer arsenal because of the drinks’ superb cooling powers. This drink is incredibly simple to make.
INGREDIENTS
- 10 mint leaves
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup (or to taste)
- 1/2 ounce lime juice
- 1 1/2 ounces gin
- 2 ounces chilled ginger beer
- garnish: lime wedge and mint sprig
DIRECTIONS
- In a cocktail shaker, lightly muddle mint leaves with simple syrup and lime juice.
- Add gin and fill with ice; shake gently until chilled (you don’t want to smash the mint to smithereens), about 10 seconds. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice, add ginger beer and stir. Garnish with lime wedge or mint sprig, or both.
