Notes

*Ginger simple syrup can be made by combining equal parts sugar and water until sugar disolves. Add in about a 2" peeled and grated piece of ginger and let sit for about 10 minutes (can leave longer depending on how strong of a ginger taste you prefer). Strain the ginger and refrigerate the syrup in an airtight container. This can be made a week or two in advance.
