Ginger Ale

Sasha Petraske’s ginger ale base at Drinkshop calls for lime juice instead of lemon. It is an ingredient in the slyly named Presbyterian, which includes bourbon or rum blended with ale and club soda, and topped with a twist of lemon.

Ingredients

• 4 teaspoons fresh ginger juice (see note)
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Preparation

1. Stir ginger juice, sugar and lime juice in 16-ounce glass until sugar is dissolved. Add ice and the club soda. Garnish with lime wedge.

• Ginger juice can be made with a juice extractor or purchased from most health stores and juice bars. If making a large quantity of ginger ale, ginger syrup can be prepared ahead of time by dissolving 3/4 cup sugar in 1 cup ginger juice. Add lime juice and club soda to two tablespoons syrup just before serving.
