10 ml fresh lime juice
15 ml cane sugar syrup
12 fresh mint leaves
½ lime, cut into wedges
Crushed ice

Instructions

Prepare the ingredients: Place the 12 fresh mint leaves, ½ lime wedges and 15 ml sugar syrup directly into the glass.
Muddle gently: Using a muddler, gently crush the ingredients together to release the essential oils from the mint and the juice from the lime. Be careful not to shred the mint, just press it.
Add the liquids: Pour in 25 ml of GIMBER N°1 Original and 10 ml of fresh lime juice.
Add the ice: Fill the glass generously with crushed ice to the top.
Top up with sparkling water: Gently pour in 60 ml of sparkling water to preserve the bubbles.
Mix: Stir gently from bottom to top with a long spoon to mix all the ingredients well.
Garnish and serve: Garnish with a nice sprig of fresh mint and, for an original touch, sprinkle lightly with dried ginger.

Cheers!

GIMBER's tips

The muddling technique: Gently press the mint without tearing it to avoid bitterness.
Ultra-fresh mint: Choose mint that is green and fragrant, rinse it and dry it before use.
Homemade sugar syrup: Mix equal parts water and sugar, heat until completely dissolved, then leave to cool.
Less sweet version: Reduce the sugar syrup to 10 ml according to your preferences.
Crushed ice: If you don't have any, wrap ice cubes in a clean tea towel and crush them with a rolling pin.
Lime: Always use fresh juice, never bottled.
Vary the flavours: You can also use GIMBER BRUT or GIMBER LILLY to vary the flavours.
