Apricot-Ginger Fizz Mixer
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
½
cup sugar
½
cup water
2½
cups apricot nectar
In a medium saucepan over medium-high, combine the ginger, sugar and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Let cool.
Put the apricot nectar into a large container, then stir in ginger mixture. Refrigerate, covered, for 2-4 hours. Strain and pour into an airtight bottle. Mixer can be refrigerated up to 1 week.
Makes enough for six cocktails.
The flavors blend well with a dry sparkling white wine. For each drink, pour 3 ounces of mixer into a glass, then add 3 ounces of sparkling wine. Or mix it with plain seltzer for a "mocktail."
