- For these, you will need lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and water.
- Lemon zest & mint leaves – Perfect for adding extra flavor and a garnish.
Essential Items for This Recipe

As I mentioned above, there are two parts to this recipe: the ice cubes used for the base and the actual cocktail. The full ingredient list and step by step instructions for both can be found in the printable recipe card below but here is a quick overview.
