First Friday of the year, and maybe there are a few of us that want to cut down or skip alcohol altogether after the holidays. This is my favourite non-alcoholic drink, refreshing and not too sweet. Cheers to the weekend!

Brush 1 lime thoroughly, cut it in slices and put in a jug. Peel 3-5 cm of fresh ginger, slice thinly and add to the jug. Add 3-4 large sprigs of fresh mint. Pour a litre of unsweetened apple juice, clear or cloudy, in the jug. Refrigerate for at least an hour or longer. Serve chilled with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of each glass.
