# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like summer in a glass, bright and zingy without any heavy sweetness dragging it down.
  • Ready in ten minutes, no cooking required, which means you're actually drinking this before your guests wonder where you disappeared to.
  • The ginger sneaks up on you, making each sip feel a little more sophisticated than it has any right to be.
02 -
  • Add the sparkling water at the very end, not earlier, because those bubbles disappear if they sit in the mixture for more than a few minutes.
  • If you grate your ginger too coarse, you'll bite into chunks that taste aggressively hot, too fine and it blends so seamlessly people won't realize why they love it.
03 -
  • Keep your sparkling water in the coldest part of your fridge so the fizz stays aggressive and the drink stays refreshing longer.
  • Ginger potency varies wildly, so start with less and taste your blended mixture before adding more, letting your palate guide you toward perfect.
