Ginger ale with a twist

Posted by Leslie Kelly on Monday, December 19, 2005.

I just love ginger ale… it’s one of those cure-alls in my household, along with the gigantic bottle of ibuprofen. But we were out of it this weekend, so I had to improvise…

I made a simple syrup in the microwave, one part sugar to two parts water. While it was still hot, I added thin sliced ginger and let it steep for a few minutes. Add ice and club soda and voila, instant ginger ale.

It was so good I’ll never go back to canned. What’s your favorite punt, turning nothing into something?

I have ordered ginger ale a couple of times in restaurants that didn’t have it, & they mixed a tiny bit of Coke into 7-Up to come up with a pretty darn close version. Your version is probably more authentic, but if you need something for a headache, that concoction is quicker :-)
