Summer in a glass. Two minutes. Zero effort. You need: — 1 lemon (or lime, or both) — fresh mint — sugar — ice — ginger ale — optional but highly recommended: a slice of orange and 1–2 slices of cucumber Slice the lemon into wedges and drop them into your favourite glass. Add the fresh mint. Sprinkle sugar over everything and gently muddle it all together with a muddler or the back of a spoon — you want the citrus to release its juice and the mint to wake up. Add ice. Pour ginger ale over the top. Now the secret: add an orange slice and a couple of cucumber slices. The cucumber gives it that extra freshness that makes this drink taste like summer in a glass. I make this every single warm evening and I never get tired of it. Daisy's tip: the longer you let it sit before drinking the better it gets — everything needs a minute to come together. Just like most good things in life. 🍋🌿
