Method

In a small saucepan bring the first four ingredients to a low boil over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Continue to cook at a low boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, strain out solids and cool. To serve fill 6, 2-cup glasses with cracked ice. Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of this ginger syrup over ice. Fill glass with club soda and stir gently. Thread fruit onto skewers, alternating fruits; place in drinks and serve.

 

Notes: This is a light and fruity drink that quenches thirst, yet is not too sweet.

 

Number of Servings: 6
