Beer Mojito

• Mojito Mixture
• 10 peppermint leaves
• 4 teaspoons sugar
• 6 teaspoons lemon juice
• Variation I
• 3/4 cup beer (see note)
• Variation II
• 1/4 cup sparkling water
• 1/2 cup beer
• Garnish
• 3 sprigs peppermint
• 3 lemon wedges

1. Cut peppermint leaves into smaller pieces and put into a mortar. Add sugar and lemon juice.
2. Grind to crush the the peppermint leaves and the sugar is dissolved.
3. Strain through a sieve into a small glass or bowl.
4. VARIATION I: put 2 teaspoons of Mojito mixture into a glass and cold add beer. Be careful, because the beer has the tendency to produce a lot of foam.
5. VARIATION II: put 2 teaspoons of Mojito mixture into a glass and add ice cold water and then cold beer.
6. Garnish with peppermint sprigs and lemon wedges.
7. NOTE: should make 3 (or 4) glasses.
8. NOTE: I used a German beer with an alcohol content of 4.8%. It is not too bitter and has some sweet notes. It is light in colour. Drinking temperature: German beer is often served with a temperature of 7 C (45 F).
