This refreshing spritzer is the perfect way to cool down on a hot day. The lemon and ginger provide a zesty and invigorating flavor, while the water keeps you hydrated. This drink is also low in calories and sugar, making it a healthy choice.
This recipe was inspired by a trip to Thailand, where I was introduced to the refreshing flavors of lemongrass and ginger. I wanted to create a drink that was similar in flavor, but without the use of lemongrass. After some experimentation, I came up with this recipe for a lemon and ginger spritzer. It's the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and it's incredibly refreshing.
