Ginger and lemon are ideal flavor combinations for a refreshing beverage. In this balanced mocktail, citrus provides a refreshing acid profile, honey balances it with sweetness while the ginger adds a hint of spice. While this recipe uses ginger beer, half of a teaspoon of grated fresh ginger can be substituted.
