Mocktails

 Going to keep a running list here of things I've tried and liked

Ginger Unsmashed from Land's End, Homer, AK

1 oz lemon juice

1 oz mint infused simple syrup*

4 oz ginger beer

1 oz cold water

I often leave out the syrup because I don't want something super sweet.  

Brazilian Limonada from NYT Cooking

4 limes scrubbed and washed, cut into wedges (save some for garnish)

1/3 c sugar

7 oz sweetened condensed milk 

4 c cold water

Ice for serving

Cut off the top and bottom of the limes and discard

In a blender, combine the limes, sugar, and milk and pulse 5-8 times, you don't want it too small because then you'll get took much pith and it might be sour

Strain into a bowl, squeeze out as much as you can with the back of a spoon, discard the solids

Divide into 4 tall glasses with ice and serve with the reserved lime wedges
