Ingredients Description

This refreshing spritz combines the zing of fresh ginger, the sweetness of orange juice, and the fizz of prosecco and club soda. It’s a perfect summer drink to energize your day with a citrusy twist and a ginger kick!

Cooking Instructions

  1. Make Ginger Syrup: In a small pot, mix sugar, water, and grated ginger. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer on low for 5 minutes until sugar dissolves and ginger smells strong.
  2. Cool & Strain: Let the syrup cool for 5–10 minutes. Strain using a fine mesh to remove the ginger bits. You should have about 1/3 cup (80ml) syrup.
  3. Mix the Drink: In a large 10-cup pitcher, add ice halfway. Pour in the ginger syrup, orange juice, and prosecco. Stir gently.
  4. Add More Flavor: Add orange liqueur and club soda to the pitcher. Top with orange slices for decoration and flavor.
  5. Serve: Pour into glasses and enjoy chilled!

Cooking Tips

  • Use freshly squeezed orange juice for better taste.
  • You can make the ginger syrup ahead and keep it in the fridge for up to 1 week.

  • Add mint leaves or a cinnamon stick for a unique flavor.
