Equipment

  • Large pot with a lid for the simple syrup

Ingredients

For the simple syrup:

  • 1 tsp Molasses
  • 1.5 cup Water
  • 1 inch Fresh ginger Cut into slices.
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp Cloves
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Honey

To serve: (per glass, multiply if more than one serving)

  • 1/3 cup simple syrup
  • 1/2 cup club soda
  • 1 shot vodka Optional, omit if alcohol free like me.

Instructions

  • Place all simple syrup ingredients in a large pot with a lid on medium heat. Bring the syrup to a boil. Once it boils, reduce to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes. After the time is up, remove from the heat and allow the syrup to cool. Once the syrup cools, strain the syrup over a bowl to remove any large pieces of ginger. 
  • Add the cocktail/ mocktail remaining ingredients to your cocktail shaker and mix well. Serve with ice and your garnish of choice on top.
