Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Use a zester to peel the orange rind in thin strips, ensuring not to include the bitter white pith.
  2. Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice into a small saucepan.
  3. Add the raw sugar and water to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  4. 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.
  5. Strain the syrup, discarding the solids, and store it in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  6. To prepare the soda, fill a glass halfway with ice, add 1/4 cup of the orange-ginger-mint syrup, and top it off with club soda.
  7. Optionally, add a splash of orange-flavored vodka or spiced rum before topping with club soda.
  8. Garnish with a thin slice of orange and a couple of mint leaves.
