Ingredients:
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce ginger syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 4 ounces sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedges (for garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, fresh lime juice, ginger syrup, and ground turmeric. The ginger syrup can be made by simmering equal parts sugar and water with fresh ginger until the flavors meld, then straining it.
- Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This will chill the mixture and blend the flavors beautifully.
- Strain the mixture into two glasses filled with ice cubes, ensuring that each glass receives an equal amount of the vibrant drink.
- Top each glass with sparkling water, giving it a gentle stir to combine. The fizz from the sparkling water will elevate the cocktail, making it extra invigorating.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and additional aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Extra Tips:
For an extra health boost, consider adding a slice of fresh ginger to the cocktail shaker along with the other ingredients for a more intense ginger flavor. If you prefer a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of ginger syrup to your taste.
Additionally, this cocktail can easily be made in larger batches for parties—just multiply the ingredients and serve in a pitcher with plenty of ice.
