Notes
The mocktail stays fresh in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The ginger flavor gets stronger over time.
Make sure to use fresh citrus juice rather than bottled for the best taste.
For a spicier drink, add more ginger. For a sweeter version, increase the honey or simple syrup.
Children might prefer less ginger and more Sprite in their drinks.
