Ginger Lemon Fizz Recipes

Steps:

• For the ginger-honey syrup:
• Combine ginger and ½ cup water in a blender and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a liquid measuring cup, pressing on solids to extract juice. Pour ½ cup of the ginger juice into a large resealable jar and stir in honey. (If you'd like to tone down the ginger a bit, add additional ¼ cup honey and ¼ cup water.) Seal jar tightly and shake until honey is completely dissolved (or rinse out blender and blend ginger juice and honey together to mix.) Makes enough for 10 cocktails. Syrup will keep 2 weeks in the refrigerator; shake well before using.
• For the cocktail:
• Combine blended Scotch, lemon juice, and Ginger-Honey Syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake until well chilled. Add sparkling wine to a flute glass, then strain cocktail into glass. Gently float smoky Scotch on top of drink. Garnish with lemon twist and candied ginger.

Steps:

• Heat the sugar and 1 cup water in a small pot until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid just comes to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the ginger. Let cool, then strain the syrup into a large mason jar and discard the ginger. Add the lemon juice to the syrup and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Fill 4 large glasses with ice, pour 1/4 cup of the syrup into each glass and top up with some club soda. Add a slice of lemon to each glass and serve.

Steps:

• Mix together the lemon juice, ginger juice, salt, sugar, mint leaves, and lemon rind.
• Put about 1/4 cup of the crushed ice into a tall glass, add 1/4 of the lemon-ginger mixture, pour the Sprite over it and serve immediately. Enjoy!
• Ginger Juice:.
• Slice 4 or 5 thin rounds of ginger and simmer in 1/4 cup of water in a small pan for about 5-7 minutes to get a nice gingery flavored juice.

Steps:

• Place ginger beer, lemonade and bitters in a jug.
• Place lemon, mint and ice in a 2L serving jug. Pour over the ginger-beer mixture to serve.
