Over this holiday weekend I will be drinking this delicious and refreshing cocktail. I make my own ginger honey syrup(it is much easier than you think). Happy 4th and enjoy yourself!
Honey Ginger Syrup-
2 cups of water
3 tbsp of grated ginger
1/2 cup of honey (Ruse Goods Raw Honey is my favorite of course)
Combine all ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer for about ten minutes. Strain contents and cool to room temperature.
To make the Lively Sparkler-
1/2 cup of unsweetened cherry juice
2oz of ginger honey syrup
2oz of gin
Splash of soda
Lime to garnish
Combine all ingredients except soda into a shaker, shake vigorously for about ten seconds. Pour contents into a glass with ice filled half way up. Top with a splash of soda and lime, Cheers!
