Instructions
- 1Take fresh mint leaves and bruise them gently by pressing with the back of a spoon or muddling lightly to release their essential oils. Place the bruised mint leaves into a large tankard or pitcher.
- 2Pour the well-chilled beer over the mint leaves in the tankard. Add the well-chilled sparkling lemonade. If the beer and lemonade were not pre-chilled, stir in the crushed ice at this point.
- 3Stir gently to combine and allow the mint to infuse for a moment. Serve immediately in chilled glasses, straining out the mint leaves if desired, or leave them in for a stronger mint flavor.
