Homemade Ginger Ale

Homemade Ginger Ale

This fizzy drink is a great thing to bring when heading to the Mines, Skull Cavern, or the new Volcano dungeon. What makes this so great is that it’s a beverage, so it’ll stack on top of food that offers Luck, such as a Lucky Lunch or Spicy Eel.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peeled, finely chopped ginger

  • 2 cups water

  • Simple Syrup
  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 cup water

  • To Serve
  • Club soda

  • Ice, optional

  • Lime juice

  • Lime wedges

Directions

  • Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add ginger. Reduce heat to medium low and let ginger sit in the simmering water for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let sit for 20 minutes. Strain liquid through a fine mesh strainer. Discard ginger pieces. In a separate saucepan, make the simple syrup by dissolving 1 cup granulated sugar into 1 cup of boiling water. Set aside. Make individual (tall) glasses of ginger ale by mixing 1/2 cup of ginger water with 1/3 cup of Simple Syrup and 1/2 cup of club soda. Serve over ice, if you like. Add a few drops of fresh lime juice and a lime wedge to each glass.
