Mint Simple Syrup

Orange Mocktail

  • Grab some ice and fill the rocks glass with it.
  • Grab the jigger and measure 4 oz of orange juice. Toss it into the glass.
    *see notes below if you need measurements in tbs and cups instead of ounces.
  • Grab the jigger and measure 1 oz of mint simple syrup. Toss it into the glass.
  • Grab the jigger and measure 2 oz of ginger ale. Toss it into the glass.
    *alternatively, you can just add the ginger ale straight to the glass topping it off instead of measuring it.
  • If desired, use a bar spoon to carefully stir the drink.

Notes

Variations:
  • You can substitute club soda, sparkling water or lemon lime soda instead of ginger ale.
  • If you don't have or don't want to make mint simple syrup, you can use regular simple syrup.
