The Ginger Hand-Off

Ginger beer and fresh ginger give this a definite kick, with lime providing a sharp citrus finish. The mixer supplies sweetness as well as spice, so the drink’s character depends on the bottle you use. Stir the ginger and lime together before pouring in the ginger beer. One careful mix is enough. It’s a lively option for the hand-off from work to evening, particularly if you like your drink to have some bite.
