Method
- Peel the ginger and cut it into small chunks.
- In a blender, combine the ginger chunks, fresh lemon juice, sugar, salt, and cold water.
- Blend on high speed for 1 minute until the ginger is finely ground and the sugar is dissolved.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher and pour the blended mixture through it, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
- Add the club soda and ice to the pitcher and stir gently to combine.
- Serve immediately in glasses filled with ice.
💡 Tips
- For a sweeter lemonade, add a bit more sugar to taste.
- If you don't have a blender, you can grate the ginger finely and steep it in the lemon juice and water for 10 minutes before straining.
- Garnish with lemon slices or mint sprigs for a prettier presentation.
