What is the bartender tip for a Coconut Ginger Refresher?
Alcohol-free: the drink is ginger, coconut, and mint. The soda goes in after straining — shaking with soda blows the shaker open and kills the bubbles. Double straining catches mint bits and ice shards. Coconut water, not milk or coconut milk. 20 ml lime balances 20 ml syrup; if your ginger syrup already contains lemon (Begin), don't increase the juice. Mint only in the shake, never muddled into a paste. Monin's sister recipe (Cucumber Ginger Refresher) uses cucumber; this one swaps the cucumber for coconut in the name and keeps only the coconut water.
