She's a Ginger

Serves 6
3 c. ginger, peeled and sliced
3 c. sugar3 c. water
2 qts. soda water
lime wedges
4 mint sprigs

Mix ginger, sugar, and water in a saucepan and bring to a slow simmer. Reduce by half and strain. As the liquid cools it will become syrupy.

In a tall glass of ice, add mint sprig and a ratio of 1 part ginger syrup to 7 parts soda water. Squeeze a little juice from the lime, stir, and add a lime wedge to the drink.

I like projects that are both complicated and unnecessary. This weekend, Michelle, let's dress in sexy cardigans and make summery ginger ale cocktails.
