Not my idea of a way to consume alcohol (I would prefer too much wine or champagne ), but I believe this was the recipe.
Does taste close to iced tea though…
–Michelle M.
Bass My boyfriend is a “working manager” of a bar here…
i.e., he bartends.
He said to add these to the preceding ingredients: 1/2 shot 151 Rum (in addition to the regular rum) 1/2 shot Triple Sec or

Cointreau I only tried one of these…
I agree with Michelle…
at least with wine or champagne it requires a few hours of sipping before you pass out, instead of a few minutes .
BTW- I just asked Jim if he was sure that both 151 and regular rum were used, and why…
he said “to hurt people”.
Good enough reason for

Ginger Soft Drink

September 16, 2007 By: Gargantua Category: Beverages No Comments →

Ingredients
6 cups water, boiling
1 cup ginger root, fresh, peeled and grated
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cloves, whole
4 each cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup lime juice, or lemon, fresh juice
1 cup orange juice
8 cups cool water
Directions:

“Many variations of homemade ginger beers (soft drinks) are brewed all over sub-Saharan Africa.
Fresh ginger makes a spicy drink, cooling in summer, warming in winter and always refreshing and energizing.
Fruit juices other than the citrus called for below, make interesting variations in its flavour.
When using other juices, I always add the juice of a couple of lemons or limes.
This recipe makes a concentrate that can be diluted with plain or sparkling water.”

Pour the boiling water over the grated ginger root, sugar, cloves and cinnamon in a large nonreactive pot or bowl (enamel, glass or stainless steel).

Cover and set aside in a warm place, in the sun if possible, for at least an hour.

Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or cloth.
Add the juices and water.
Set aside in a warm place for another hour or so.

Gently strain the liquid again, taking care not to disturb the sediment at the bottom.
Store in the refrigerator in a large nonreactive container.
A glass gallon jar or jug works well.

Serve warm, chilled or on ice, either as is or diluted with water or sparkling water.
A squeeze of fresh lime juice in each glass of ginger drink is “the cat’s meow”.
