Summer is here and it has been hot, hot, hot! In an attempt to keep hydrated and cool I’ve been enjoying these Homemade Ginger Mint Sodas. They’re oh-so refreshing and full of flavor; slightly spicy from the ginger and a little sweet thanks to the mint. Best part is…they’re a cinch to make and you can make a big batch of the ginger simple syrup and keep it in the fridge for up to a week.
It’s the perfect beverage to enjoy throughout the day and once 5 o’clock rolls around, you can most certainly add a shot of your favorite liquor (I recommend a light rum, vodka or gin) and turn it into a refreshing Ginger Mint Cocktail!
Here is how you make it:
