Ginger simple syrup is a handy ingredient to have in your fridge. It is easy to make, lasts a ling time and the perfect enhancer or twist to your beverage, alcoholic or not.

Traditional Simple Syrup is made with sugar and water. I’m not a fan of sugar (click here to read why) so I use honey instead and kick it up a notch with fresh ginger.

Some way to use it in non-alcoholic beverages:

• Ginger ale (simply add sparkling or carbonated water)

• The above plus lime juice and mint for a refreshing twist.

• Mocktail version on Blueberry Lemon Rita (just omit the alcohol)

• A twist on lemonade by mixing with fresh lemon juice.

• Trader Joe’s lemon ginger sparkling water (sparkling water and a splash of lemon juice)

• Enhance your tea

Now when it comes to cocktails:

• Blueberry Lemon Rita - possible my favorite way to enjoy this simple syrup

• Moscow Mule - add vodka or tequila, sparkling water and lemon

• Add tequila, Topo Chico and a squeeze of lime

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Note - If you don’t have Topo Chico you can use club soda but I am sorry… you are missing out.
