Mint Lime And Ginger Sparkler Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, muddle fresh ginger, mint leaves, and lime juice. Stir in ginger beer. Strain into a pitcher, pressing down on solids. Stir in seltzer. Serve over ice with lime wheels, more ginger slices, and mint sprigs.

Steps:

• Combine chopped mint, ginger, and honey in medium bowl. Add boiling water. Let steep 30 minutes. Strain into 4-cup glass measuring cup, pressing on solids to extract liquid. Add lemon juice and enough cold water to measure 4 cups total. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Fill glasses with ice cubes. Add lemonade. Garnish with mint leaves and lemon slices and serve.

Steps:

• Set a fine-mesh sieve over a small bowl; set aside. In a small saucepan, boil ginger, sugar, and 1/4 cup water until syrupy, about 2 minutes. Pour through sieve into bowl, discarding solids. (To store syrup, refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 1 week.)
• Pour 1 tablespoon syrup into each of 8 tall glasses. Top with sparkling wine, and gently stir.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, water, and ginger in a saucepan over medium heat. Gently simmer and stir for 2 minutes until the sugar is dissolved ¿ do not allow the syrup to boil or get dark. Remove from the heat, cover, put in the refrigerator, and let steep until cold.
• Strain the lime juice into a blender. When the syrup is cold, fish out the ginger slices and pour the syrup into the blender. Add the lime zest. Then add the chopped mint and crushed ice and process until slushy. Spoon the slushy into bowls, garnish with mint leaves, and serve immediately.
