A FEW USEFUL DETAILS
Before your
next pour.
Use sound ginger and washed lemon. A stronger ginger flavor is a recipe preference, not a health benefit.

Can I prepare the finished drink far in advance?
Prepare appropriate components separately and keep perishables refrigerated. Assemble close to serving; ice, fruit texture, and any sparkling water change while the finished glass waits.
