Ingredients

  • 1 orange
  • 1 1/2 tbsp raw sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1-inch piece ginger
  • 5-6 fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup club soda
  • crushed ice

Instructions

  1. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the orange rind in thin pieces, taking care to avoid the white pith. Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice into a saucepan.
  2. Add sugar and water to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the orange rind, ginger, and mint. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  4. Strain the syrup, discarding the solids, and store it in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  5. To make the soda, fill a tall glass halfway with crushed ice. Add 1/4 cup of the orange-ginger-mint syrup to the glass and top off with club soda. Optionally, add a splash of orange-flavored vodka or spiced rum before topping with club soda. Garnish with a thin slice of orange and a couple of mint leaves.
