It’s time to enjoy the weekend! Toast to the week with this tasty drink in mocktail or cocktail form.
Ingredients:
2 stalks of lemongrass
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 cup fresh mint, roughly chopped
1/2 cup coconut water
1/2 fresh lime, juiced
1 oz Tequila if using
sparkling water and extra lime slices to top and garnish
Directions:
Peel outer leaves from lemongrass and using a rolling pin, bash the soft inner stalks until they are bruised and fragrant. Add to small saucepan with water and sugar.
Bring to the boil and then remove from the heat. Strain out the lemongrass and cool.
Fill a tall glass with ice, adding one or two teaspoons of your lemongrass syrup. Add mint, coconut water, and lime juice (and tequila if using!) leaving space to top with some sparkling water.
Muddle and serve with a lime slice.
