Make this first

Organic ginger syrup — for the Fresh Ginger Mule

30 g peeled, thinly sliced organic ginger
1/2 cup / 120 ml water
1/2 cup / ≈100 g organic cane sugar

Combine the ginger and water in a small saucepan. Simmer gently, covered, for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and steep for 10 minutes.
Strain, then add enough water to restore the liquid to 120 ml.
While warm, dissolve the cane sugar into it. Cool completely.

Prepare small batches, refrigerate promptly in clean, covered containers, and use them fresh.

Good to know

A regular highball glass works perfectly — no specialty copper mug required.

Why Espadín?

Roasted agave, pineapple, citrus, and gentle smoke make Espadín the natural base for familiar crowd-pleasers — the Margarita, the Paloma, pineapple, ginger, and coffee.
