Prep the syrup ahead of time to create this drink quickly and easily for your guests. For a refreshing, summer mocktail version, omit gin.
Ingredients
TRUE ROOTS SIMPLE SYRUP
2" piece of fresh ginger
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
TRUE ROOTS SPARKLING LEMONADE
4 lemons
6 cups club soda
1⁄4 cup beetroot juice
4 oz gin
Preparation
- To make simple syrup, finely grate ginger (don’t peel); place in Multipurpose Pot. Add sugar and water. Stir to combine. Add tea bags. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 min. Gently press tea bags with the back of a spoon to release more flavour and colour. Using a fine mesh sieve, strain. Pour in Cruet and chill.
- Slice lemons in half. Using 2-in-1 Citrus Press, squeeze juice from lemons into a large pitcher. Add club soda, juice, simple syrup, and gin. Stir gently to combine.
- Divide between eight glasses filled with ice.
