How to Make Beer Mojito

  1. Roughly chop 1 cup of fresh peppermint leaves.
  2. In a mortar and pestle, combine the chopped peppermint leaves and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
  3. Muddle the peppermint and sugar until the leaves are crushed and the sugar is dissolved.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl or glass, pressing gently to extract all the flavor.
  5. **Variation I (Direct Beer):** Add 2 tablespoons of the peppermint-sugar mixture to a chilled glass. Slowly add the chilled beer, being careful to avoid excessive foaming.
  6. **Variation II (Water + Beer):** Add 2 tablespoons of the peppermint-sugar mixture to a chilled glass. Add a small amount of ice water to your preference, followed by the chilled beer, again adding slowly.
  7. Garnish with fresh peppermint sprigs and lime wedges.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Note: German beer is often served at 7°C)
