Steps:

• Add ginger, honey and lemon slice to the bottom of an 8 oz glass. Muddle with a muddler (or spoon) to release the juices from the lemon and ginger.

GINGER LEMONADE FIZZ

Steps:

• Heat the sugar and 1 cup water in a small pot until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid just comes to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the ginger. Let cool, then strain the syrup into a large mason jar and discard the ginger. Add the lemon juice to the syrup and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Fill 4 large glasses with ice, pour 1/4 cup of the syrup into each glass and top up with some club soda. Add a slice of lemon to each glass and serve.

POMEGRANATE-GINGER SPRITZER

Steps:

• For the grenadine syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the pomegranate juice and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let cool. (Makes about 3/4 cup; extra syrup can be stored in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
• For the spritzer: Add the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and 2 tablespoons grenadine syrup in a rocks glass and mix until combined. Fill with crushed ice. Add the ginger ale, drop in a lime slice and serve.

SALTED LEMON-GINGER SPRITZER

Steps:

• Place the lemon and salt in a large wine glass and using the back of a spoon, lightly muddle to break up and release some of the oils and juices. Add lemon juice and ginger (if using) and top with lots of ice and ginger beer. Garnish with lemon wedge or fresh ginger.
