Ingredients
Scale
Creating these refreshing beverages requires only a few quality ingredients, much like the straightforward recipes my mum used to make.
- 2 ounces gin (or your preferred spirit)
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 ounce club soda
- 1/2 teaspoon stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Ice cubes
Feel free to substitute the gin with vodka or rum, depending on your taste preferences. The key is to embrace the joy of experimentation, much like those morning adventures in the kitchen.
Instructions
Let’s mix up some magic! Follow these steps to create your own sugar free masterpiece:
- Begin by filling a shaker with ice cubes. There’s something nostalgic about the clinking of ice, reminiscent of the sound of wooden spoons stirring dough.
- Add 2 ounces of gin, 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of your chosen sweetener. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
- Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice cubes. A chilled glass always brings back memories of Sunday lunches, where drinks were always served with a touch of elegance.
- Top off your drink with 1 ounce of club soda for a fizzy finish.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon. Remember, presentation is half the experience, just like the perfectly golden crust on a fresh apple crumble.
