Ingredients
  

  • 2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup sparkling water

Equipment

  • 1 Muddler
  • 1 glass

Method
 

  1. Combine grated ginger and brown sugar in a glass, muddle for about a minute
  2. Add lemon juice, stir until sugar dissolves
  3. Strain out ginger pieces, add ice, top with sparkling water.

Notes

This isn't trying to be a beer dupe — the ginger's natural bite fills the role hops play in real beer.
