This sounds so good! This is a South Beach recipe so it calls for sugar substitute, I give that a wholehearted "hell no" but other than that, this sounds like a perfect summer drink and would surely make a great mixer for cocktails.
Mint-Ginger Spritzers
Serves 8
Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients
3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh ginger
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons granular sugar substitute
1 cup fresh mint leaves
1 (2-liter) bottle seltzer water, chilled
Ice cubes

Instructions
Place ginger in a small saucepan with water and sugar substitute. Bring to a simmer, remove from heat, and let steep in saucepan at room temperature for at least 4 hours.
After ginger syrup has steeped, add mint leaves and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Strain.
To serve, pour 1/2 cup of seltzer into a glass, add 1 tablespoon mint-ginger syrup, and stir. Add ice and stir again. Top drink with a mint sprig. Repeat for remaining drinks.
