How to Make a Our Ginger Beer Cocktail

Simple to prepare and delightful for everyone, these frozen Strawberry Ginger Palomas are the perfect summer drink. The sweet and tangy flavour of the strawberry syrup beautifully complements the spiciness of the ginger beer, the smoothness of the tequila, and the zest of the lemon juice.

If you’re looking for a new cocktail to enjoy this summer, give these Palomas a try!

You’ll need:

• 2 ounces tequila blanco
• 1 ounce lemon juice
• 1 ounce strawberry syrup (recipe below)
• 1 ounce ginger beer (recipe below)

For the Strawberry Syrup:Combine 1 cup of fresh strawberries, 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the berries soften. If the syrup is too thick, add more water or juice until you reach the desired consistency. Allow it to cool completely before using—the mixture will thicken as it cools.

For the Ginger Beer:Combine 2 cups of water, 1/4 cup of grated ginger root, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in a large pitcher or jar. Cover and let it sit overnight at room temperature. Strain out the solids and discard them. Then, add 1 tablespoon of sugar per 8 ounces of water and stir well. Chill until ready to serve (this mixture can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days). Use a mat to avoid making a mess during preparation.
