Kalte Ente (Cold Duck Punch) vs Nane Limon (Turkish Mint Lemonade)

Both drinks pair lemon with mint, yet they use them in opposite ways. Kalte Ente is a crisp, bubbly punch: thin lemon slices steep in dry white wine, sparkling wine is poured in just before serving and stirred gently to keep the fizz, and mint sprigs serve only as an aromatic garnish. Nane Limon puts mint at its core, muddling the leaves with lemon zest and sugar before warm water and fresh lemon juice are added. Chilled and poured over ice, it is still, zesty and intensely minty rather than wine-driven and effervescent.
