Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 (4-inch) piece ginger, sliced, reserve 4 slices for garnish
Ice
1 liter seltzer water
4 shots dark rum, such as Gosling's
4 lime wedges, for garnish
4 small skewers
Directions
- In a small pot over medium heat, combine the sugar, water and the ginger. Bring to a boil then shut off the heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Fill 4 glasses with ice. Pour seltzer water into the bottom third of each glass. Add 1/4 cup of the ginger simple syrup to each glass and gently stir. Put a teaspoon upside down over the glass and pour 1 shot of rum over the spoon, so that the rum stays separated from the seltzer.
- Put slice of ginger and lime wedge onto each skewer. Garnish each drink with the skewer and enjoy.
