Made a few modifications. It wasn't as ginger forward as I would prefer on first taste. I reduced the simple syrup a bit and added about 1 oz ginger liqueur. Finished it off with ginger beer instead of ginger ale. It was super refreshing and had a more complex flavor.

What in the world? There is absolutely no taste of the rum in this, and I used Havana Club 3! A delicious and potent combination of ginger, mint and lime. I did overpour my ginger syrup (in place of a packaged ginger ale), so it did dominate, but tasty nevertheless.

Very bright, fresh taste and ginger adds a nice bite. I preferred more lime and less sugar. A drink that’s adaptable to your tastes.
