Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Muddler
  • Tall glass
  • Bar spoon
  • Strainer
  • Citrus juicer (optional)

Ingredients

For one cocktail:

  • 2 oz gin
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz ginger syrup
  • Club soda
  • Ice
  • Lime wedge and candied ginger for garnish

Use good quality gin for the best taste. Fresh lime juice is key - bottled won't taste as good. You can buy ginger syrup or make your own by simmering ginger and sugar.

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Add gin, lime juice, and ginger syrup to the shaker.
  • Shake well for 10-15 seconds.
  • Strain into a tall glass filled with ice.
  • Top with club soda.
  • Stir gently with a bar spoon.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge and piece of candied ginger.

Shake the first three ingredients to blend flavors. The ice in the shaker chills the drink, and topping with soda keeps it fizzy.

    Notes

    This recipe is easy to adjust. For a stronger ginger flavor, add more syrup. If you like it tart, use extra lime juice. You can swap gin for vodka if you prefer.
    Make a big batch for parties. Mix gin, lime, and ginger syrup ahead of time. Add ice and soda when serving.
    For a non-alcoholic version, skip the gin and use more club soda. It's still tasty and refreshing.
