Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1 large knob ginger peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 tablespoons stevia if using sugar use ½ cup
  • 1 ounces vodka
  • .5 ounce lime juice
  • 1 cup Club Soda
  • 1 lime wedge

Instructions

  • Bring the water to a boil. Add the ginger chunks and let boil rapidly for 10 minutes.
  • Turn heat down to medium, add the stevia or sweetener and mix until fully dissolved.
  • Let mixture simmer until reduced by a third. Taste often, if it's getting too spicy, remove the ginger (I like it spicy so the ginger stays until the very end). Strain into a heat-safe jar and let cool to room temperature.
  • Once cooled, gently mix 2 tablespoons of ginger syrup into soda water. Taste, add more syrup if needed.
  • Fill a glass with ice. Pour vodka over ice, and top with ginger ale (you realized that's what you just made, right?) and lime juice. Stir, gently.
  • Serve with a lime wedge garnish.
