How To Make Your Own Raspberry Ginger Ale Recipes

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN RASPBERRY GINGER ALE

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, combine your finely grated fresh ginger, quartered raspberries, sugar and 1/2 cup water.
• Bring the ingredients to a boil slowly, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
• Once the sugar has dissolved, remove it from the heat and place a lid on it. Allow it to steep for one hour.
• Place a fine cloth over a bowl (I used part of an old t-shirt and used a rubber band to hold it over a small batter bowl) and pour this mixture in.
• Allow the syrup to strain through and then squeeze the pulp in your cloth to get the rest out. You will have this pretty pink (sticky!) syrup.
• When the syrup has cooled to room temperature, add it to a two liter bottle.
• Add the remaining ingredients, put the cap on tightly and give it a slight shake to mix it up.
• Leave the bottle to sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours, feeling the bottle to see if it has any give.
• When it is firm, you know you're ready to go! Open it to hear your fizz!
• Close it back up tightly and put it in the fridge!
• I'm sure you won't have a problem with this because it's so refreshing that you'll probably have a glass at least once a day, but make sure to open the bottle occasionally to make sure you let some of the carbonation out.

RASPBERRY GINGERALE

Steps:

• Combine the ginger, lemon peel and 3 cups cold water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of the sugar and continue boiling until the sugar completely dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain the syrup into a small pitcher, cover tightly and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours.
• Combine the raspberries and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl. Let stand at room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Spoon some of the berries into the bottoms of 6 to 8 glasses and mash them gently with a spoon. Pour over some ginger syrup - more or less depending on how sweet you want your drink. Pour about 1/2 cup club soda in each glass, and serve with a straw.
