Ginger Ale Mocktail
An easy mocktail in just 5 minutes, this ginger ale mocktail is great for holiday parties or just a fun refreshing drink.
Servings: 1 drink
Ingredients
- 1 ounce lemon juice
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely grated
- 8 ounces ginger ale
- 2 sprigs rosemary, divided can also use 5-6 fresh mint leaves as a substitute
Instructions
- In a wine glass or tall glass combine lemon and lime juice, honey, ginger, and 1 sprig of rosemary (or 5-6 mint leaves), cut into 4 smaller sections. Stir well to combine so the honey is fully blended.
- Add ice and top with ginger ale. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
Notes
- Rosemary vs Mint - I prefer to use rosemary for holiday mocktails like Christmas and Thanksgiving. It looks especially festive with a few fresh cranberries added. For summer months, choose the mint. It's cooling and refreshing!
- Ginger ale recommendations - I prefer Q brand for this as it's less sweet, but Schweppes, Canada Dry, or any other favorites will work.
- A note on ginger beer - While ginger beer will also work for this recipe, it will be a much stronger, spicy flavor. Since ginger ale is more mellow, it works nicely with the citrus and honey, allowing those flavors to shine through.
