A crisp, fragrant drink that captures the taste of fall. The fresh ginger invigorates the senses and complements the tartness of the pomegranate and grapefruit. We make ours zero proof by swapping our tequila substitute for the booze, without losing the burn of liquor. Now you can indulge at meal time and still have some gas in the tank for that after-dinner turkey trot.

1/2 C. honey
1 inch fresh ginger chopped
Mint leaves
