# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of fiery ginger beer and bright lime creates this perfect balance that wakes up your entire palate
  • It comes together in literally five minutes but looks and tastes like something you'd order at a fancy bar
02 -
  • I once forgot to slap the mint and wondered why the drink tasted flat—those few seconds of literally clapping your hands together make more difference than you'd believe
  • If your ginger beer seems too sweet, a tiny pinch of salt will balance it out without making it taste salty
03 -
  • Freeze some lime juice in ice cube trays and use those instead of regular ice so your drink never gets watered down
  • Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass before pouring—it creates this fragrant first impression that sets up the whole experience
