Savory Mint Ginger Soda

Fresh ginger, mint, lime, sea salt, and sparkling water for a sharp dry soda.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey, optional
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 cups chilled sparkling water
  • Ice and lime wedges

  1. Muddle ginger, mint, lime juice, honey if using, and salt.
  2. Add ice and shake in a jar for 15 seconds.
  3. Strain into two ice-filled glasses.
  4. Top with sparkling water.

Fresh Mint Tip

Strain out the muddled mint and ginger so the soda stays crisp instead of fibrous.
