While it’s perfectly alright for adults to enjoy a drink come the holiday season, some might want to abstain from alcohol, particularly if they’re getting behind the wheel a er a party. Hosts can keep in mind that some guests may not want to drink alcohol during a party. But that doesn’t mean they won’t appreciate a unique and avorful drink.

Press down rmly with the back of a spoon to collect the juice then pour it into a cocktail shaker. Add the ginger syrup and lemon juice to the shaker and add a handful of ice.
