Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lemon Balm

    Rinse the lemon balm leaves under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Juice the Limes

    Cut the limes in half and use a juicer or your hands to extract the juice. Measure 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Glass

    Take a tall glass and fill it with ice cubes until it is about three-quarters full.

Mixing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the lemon balm leaves and lime juice. Muddle them together gently to release the flavors.

  2. 5

    Add Soda Water

    Pour the muddled mixture into the glass with ice and top it off with soda water. Stir gently to combine.

  3. 6

    Add Gin (Optional)

    If desired, add 2 oz of gin to the glass and stir again gently to mix. This adds an extra kick to the drink.

Garnishing

  1. 7

    Garnish the Drink

    Garnish with lime wedges on the rim of the glass and a few additional lemon balm leaves for a fresh touch.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately while it's cold and refreshing. Enjoy your LB NA spirit!
