Recipe:

• ½ oz Fresh Lime Juice
• 1 oz Ginger Syrup *
• 1 ¾ Yerba Mate-Infused Vodka Blend **
• 3 oz Seltzer Water

* To make Ginger Syrup: Juice fresh ginger using a juicer, and strain through a fine-mesh strainer or cheese cloth.  Combine equal parts of ginger juice and granulated white sugar in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer over heat. When sugar dissolves, remove from heat and cool.  Use immediately or cool and store for up to 3 weeks.

** To Make Yerba Mate-Infused Vodka: In a large container, combine 5 grams of Yerba Mate tea leaves, 15 grams of Turmeric-Ginger Tea leaves, and 1 liter of all-purpose vodka.  Let sit for 20 minutes then strain to remove tea leaves, and return liquid to original vodka bottle. Will keep indefinitely.
