Ingredients

  • Fresh mint leaves (10-12 leaves)
  • Lime wedge (1 wedge (for garnish))

  • Tequila (2 ounces (preferably blanco))

Instructions

  3. Pour in 2 ounces of premium blanco tequila and the freshly squeezed lime juice over the ice.
  4. Top off the drink with 4-6 ounces of chilled ginger beer, gently stirring to combine all the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
