Ingredient Notes
Ginger: I used fresh ginger to give a fresh ginger flavor.
Granulated sugar: It is best to use because it quickly melts in the mixture. Alternatively, you can add honey, brown sugar, or stevia.
Lime juice: We used fresh lime to maintain the drink’s flavor.
Vodka: I used unflavored vodka instead of flavored ones. It is also preferable to use only unflavored vodka.
Ginger syrup: You can replace it with non-alcoholic ginger beer. Both grocery stores and liquor stores sell it as a mixer.
