Directions

Build the Mocktail Base
Add the lime pulp, finely grated lime zest, honey, and the pinch of fine sea salt to a large pitcher, then muddle gently just until the lime fibers loosen and the honey fully dissolves; stop early — the goal is juice and aroma, not bitterness or pulp destruction.
Add the Mint
Add the lightly clapped mint leaves and stir once or twice only to release aroma; do not muddle, crush, or shred the mint, as that will immediately turn it grassy and bitter.
Add the Ginger Beer
Fill the pitcher generously with ice, pour in the chilled ginger beer, and stir gently once or twice to integrate while preserving carbonation.
Serve
Pour into ice-filled glasses, garnish with lime peel twists, and serve immediately while the drink is cold, sharp, and fully carbonated.

*Notes :

Use real ginger beer, not ginger ale — heat is non-negotiable here.
Lime zest must be micro-fine and restrained; it’s aromatic lift, not bulk flavor.
Honey should round and soften, never read as sweetness.
Salt is essential and invisible — it ties ginger heat, citrus, and honey together.
Mint lives in the background; if you taste “mint,” you overdid it.
This drink does not hold — serve immediately.
