Time 35m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups unbleached cane sugar (preferably organic)
3/4 cup water
1/2 lb fresh gingerroot, washed and sliced into quarter-inch thick rounds
1 large lemon, washed, half sliced into quarter-inch thick rounds and the other half sliced into wheels for serving
ice
3/4 cup seltzer water or 3/4 cup sparkling water

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a boil and use a wooden spoon to stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and set the simple syrup aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a blender jar, combine the ginger and sliced lemon; add the warm simple syrup and place a lid on the blender. Begin blending on the lowest speed until the ginger and lemon are roughly chopped, about 1 minute. Turn off the blender and let the ginger-lemon syrup steep for 10 minutes. Repeat, this time blending the ginger-lemon syrup on medium speed for 1 minute before turning the blender off and steeping for 10 minutes more.
  • Strain the ginger-lemon syrup through a fine-meshed sieve lined with 2 layers of water-moistened cheesecloth, set over a medium bowl, using a rubber spatula to help push the mixture through.
  • Fill a glass with ice, add 3/4 cup seltzer water. Top with ΒΌ cup ginger-lemon syrup and use the spoon to stir. Adjust the flavor with more ginger-lemon syrup or seltzer as needed. Garnish with a lemon wheel.
  • The remaining ginger-lemon syrup can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

I'm not usually a fan of ginger ale, but this soda is a game-changer. The lemon adds a brightness that really elevates the flavor. I also appreciate that it's not too sweet. It's the perfect drink to enjoy on a hot day or to serve at a party.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I really enjoyed this soda. The lemon flavor really mellows out the ginger, and the honey adds just the right amount of sweetness. It's a great drink to enjoy on a hot day.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this soda was to make. I didn't have any ginger root on hand, so I used ground ginger instead, and it turned out great. The soda is nice and fizzy, and the ginger and lemon flavors are perfectly balanced.
