Ginger Julep

6 to 8 fresh mint leaves
½ ounce fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar
¼ ounce grenadine
4 to 6 ounces chilled ginger ale
Mint sprig

Muddle together the mint leaves, lime juice, sugar, and grenadine in the bottom of a chilled collins glass. Fill with ice and top with ginger ale. Garnish with the mint sprig.

Ben's Notes:
This sweet summertime non-alcoholic beverage hit the spot with basil burgers last week. I don't own any collins glasses so I substituted a highball glass. The drink looked attractive and was very refreshing.
