Ginger Lemon Fizz

 Ginger Lemon Fizz

Description:

The Ginger Lemon Fizz is a lively, halal-friendly drink that combines the zesty freshness of lemon with the warm, spicy kick of ginger. It’s a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and fizzy — ideal for cooling off on hot days, aiding digestion after meals, or serving as a refreshing mocktail at gatherings. This drink is light, energizing, and full of natural goodness, offering a delicious way to boost your mood and refresh your senses.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1 tsp ginger juice)

• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• 1–2 tsp honey or sugar syrup (adjust to taste)

• 1 cup sparkling water or soda water (chilled)

• Ice cubes (as needed)

• Lemon slice and mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl or cup, mix the grated ginger with a little hot water and let it sit for 2–3 minutes. This helps release the ginger’s flavor and natural oils.

2. Strain the mixture to remove the pulp, keeping only the clear ginger-infused liquid.

3. In a serving glass, combine the ginger liquid, lemon juice, and honey (or sugar syrup). Stir until the sweetener dissolves completely.

4. Fill the glass with ice cubes for a chilled, refreshing effect.

5. Slowly pour in the sparkling water, then stir gently to mix without losing the fizz.

6. Garnish with a slice of lemon and a few mint leaves for an elegant, refreshing presentation.

Serving Suggestion:
Serve immediately while it’s bubbly and cold. The Ginger Lemon Fizz pairs perfectly with grilled dishes, spicy foods, or as a light mocktail for iftar and summer events.

Optional Variations:

• Add a few cucumber slices for extra coolness.

• Mix in a splash of apple juice for a fruity note.

• Use crushed ice and blend lightly for a slushy-style version.
