Pour a small layer of ginger syrup into the glass — roughly 1/10 of the total. Rinse the mint and snap the sprig in a few places to release its fragrant, flavourful oils for a better mint taste. Add the mint to the glass, fill it up with sparkling water and drop in a few ice cubes. Finally, squeeze the half lime over the glass and drop it in too.
Pop in a straw and your summer drink is ready!

Adjust the amount of ginger syrup to your own taste. If you like a stronger ginger flavour, add a little more syrup. For something milder, simply use less.
This mocktail is also delicious with a slice of cucumber or a few basil leaves for an extra fresh twist. Serve immediately after making it so the bubbles stay nice and lively.
