Double or triple the ginger syrup recipe and keep it stashed in your fridge for Happy Hour anytime. Have patience when making the syrup so that it doesn't boil or simmer too rapidly and burn. Feel free to adjust the quantity of the mint and ginger to your liking. You can also swap sugar substitute and diet ginger soda for the sugar and sparkling water, if you prefer.
