Notes
Brand of Ginger Beer: I quite enjoy the Fever Tree ginger beer, but it does have about 10g of sugar per serving, so if that's important to you, you may want to look for a low-sugar option. I like the Betty Buzz brand for its lack of fermentation and lower sugar content, but in a pinch some sparkling water with ginger simple syrup could also be a decent sub.
Swapping Berries: you can use any type of berry or other fruit you'd like for this mocktail, but I recommend a less sweet berry like cherries or blueberries, otherwise all the elements will end up overly sweet for most people.
Adjusting Sweetness: adding more simple syrup or coconut sugar will increase the sweetness of the drink, though be careful not to add too much mint syrup or it will throw the sharpness of the ginger beer mocktail off balance.
