Ingredients

• 1 ounce shaved, fresh ginger root
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 TBSP fresh lime juice
• 2 TBSP ginger simple syrup
• 1 cup fizzy water

Directions

• Boil the still water - start with at least 1 1/2 cups.
• Using your vegetable peeler remove the peel from a chunk of ginger about 1 by 1 by 2. Toss the peel and continue to shave off thin strips until you have about 1 ounce of shaved ginger.
• Using a 4 cup measuring cup, fill with 1 cup of boiling water then add the ginger. Set the timer let it steep for 10 minutes.
• Line a large sieve with cheesecloth and carefully strain the ginger liquid into a separate bowl. Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and gently squeeze any remaining liquid into the bowl.
• Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. If the water has gotten cold and the sugar wont dissolve, you can reheat it in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
• Using a 12 ounce glass, fill your glass with ice.
• Add 1 TBSP of fresh squeezed lime juice, 2 TBSP ginger simple syrup, and 1 cup fizzy water.
• Gently stir and serve as a mocktail or add a splash of bourbon for a tasty cocktail!
