Homemade Ginger Ale

Get a bubbly, crisp taste for half the calories—just 72 per serving—and sugar than store-bought varieties of ginger ale.
Garnish with fresh citrus or fruit during brunch or use as a cocktail mixer for a summer soiree.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup peeled, sliced fresh ginger
  • 1 cup water
  • 12 cups club soda, chilled
  • 12 lemon slices or candied ginger pieces

Preparation

Combine the sugar, ginger, and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes; strain through a fine sieve into a pitcher, and cool. Add the club soda; garnish with lemon or candied ginger.

Note: Syrup can be made and refrigerated, then combined with soda 1 serving at a time, using 2 tablespoons syrup per 1 cup soda.
