Green Apple-Ginger Fizz
To make this refreshing drink, use ginger ale, as directed below, or prepare a ginger simple syrup and add to the other ingredients, along with some sparkling water. To make the simple syrup, in a saucepan, combine 2 cups (16 fl. oz./500 ml) water, 2 cups (1 lb./500 g) sugar and a 3-inch (7.5-cm) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let steep for 5 minutes, then strain and cool before using.
