Instructions

TO MAKE THE GINGER SYRUP:

  • In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add water and let it begin to boil. Once boiling, add chopped ginger root and boil for 20 minutes. After 10-15 minutes, turn off the heat, whisk in Agave and cover ginger mixture to steep for about 25-30 minutes to ensure that flavors are fully potent.

TO MAKE THE MOCKTAIL:

  • In the meantime, in a pitcher, add your freshly squeezed orange juice, along with steeped ginger mixture, stirring everything together until well combined. Add mixture to the refrigerator to chill for a minimum of 2 hours.

ASSMEBLY:

  • To serve—add an ice cube or two into prepared glass(es), followed by chilled juice mixture and ginger beer, stirring together slightly. Add in cranberries, orange slices, and pomegranate seeds and let sit for 2-3 minutes for everything to infuse together in flavor. Garnish with fresh rosemary, if desired.
  • Sip and enjoy!

Notes

  • STORAGE: Keep any leftovers (without ginger beer) in the refrigerator, tightly covered in your pitcher or in a sealed mason jar. Best if consumed within a few days.
  • SWEETENER: Add more maple syrup or Agave for more sweetness if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. You can also use organic cane sugar, if desired.
