    Ingredients

    • Ginger simple syrup – homemade ginger infused syrup is a delicious easy make ahead ingredient for all sorts of ginger drinks. Cocktails, mocktails, ginger flavored baked goods and more!
    • Sparkling wine – or champagne. The difference between sparkling wine and champagne is that champagne comes from the Champagne region of France and is produced under very strict guidelines and other sparkling wines, like prosecco, cava, sparkling rose, etc are not.

    Step by step instructions

    1. Make ginger syrup. Combine sliced fresh ginger root, either peeled or unpeeled, with granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and allow the ginger to steep in the warm simple syrup for at least 3 hours, and up to 12 hours total. Once desired ginger flavor is reached, strain ginger pieces (toss with sugar to make a candied ginger garnish). Place ginger syrup in a tightly covered jar or other container and store refrigerated, for up to 6 weeks.

    1. Garnish with a piece of candied ginger, if desired.
    2. Enjoy!

    Candied ginger

    The same fresh ginger that is used to infuse the syrup can also be used to make candied ginger for garnish. A perfect zero waste garnish idea for ginger cocktails.

    To make candied ginger simply remove ginger pieces from the infused syrup. Then place ginger on cooling rack until slightly dry and tacky, about 20-30 minutes. When still tacky toss the candied ginger in a bowl of sugar to give it a beautiful sugar coating. Tightly cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 months.
