BEER MOJITO
A refreshing beverage and not only for beer lovers. I know, that this is not a true Mojito, but it is in the style of it. Peppermint leaves have a more intense flavour than other mint varieties and also have some bitter notes. This goes well together with the different malty and bitter flavours of many German beer varieties. If you prefer a non-alcoholic Mojito, look out for a alcohol reduced or non-alcoholic beer. Non-alcoholic beer is getting more and more prominent in Germany.

Steps:
- Cut peppermint leaves into smaller pieces and put into a mortar. Add sugar and lemon juice.
- Grind to crush the the peppermint leaves and the sugar is dissolved.
- Strain through a sieve into a small glass or bowl.
- VARIATION I: put 2 teaspoons of Mojito mixture into a glass and cold add beer. Be careful, because the beer has the tendency to produce a lot of foam.
- VARIATION II: put 2 teaspoons of Mojito mixture into a glass and add ice cold water and then cold beer.
- Garnish with peppermint sprigs and lemon wedges.
- NOTE: should make 3 (or 4) glasses.
- NOTE: I used a German beer with an alcohol content of 4.8%. It is not too bitter and has some sweet notes. It is light in colour. Drinking temperature: German beer is often served with a temperature of 7 C (45 F).

Steps:
- Set aside one of the lime wedges, then squeeze the juice from the rest into a tall glass. Drop in the spent lime wedges and muddle using a muddler or the end of a rolling pin.
- Set three of the mint leaves aside, then drop the rest into the glass along with the sugar syrup. Fill the glass with crushed ice, then pour over the rum. Stir upwards from the bottom using a long-handled spoon to evenly disperse the lime juice and mint.
- Top up the glass with golden ale, then garnish the rim with the remaining lime wedge and scatter over the rest of the mint leaves.
