While on vacation in California we had a version of this drink. I ended up making it at home the same day I returned and have been drinking it since. I made my own version using stevia, since I’m avoiding sugar, so it works just fine with any sweetener of your choice.
The idea is to make your favorite lemonade whether that be from a mix, can, or fresh lemons (I used fresh lemons since I wanted to use my own sweetener) but use sparkling instead of still water when making it. Next, zest fresh ginger directly into the lemonade mixture. I used one tablespoon of fresh ginger to make a batch in a one liter carafe. I added in a few sliced mint leaves for flavor and color. This drink is DELICIOUS and ginger is great for you. It would also be fun to add a flavored vodka for an alcoholic version.
Will you give this drink a try? I hope so!
