SALTED LEMON-GINGER SPRITZER

A little sweet, lightly sour and a touch briny: This spritz is inspired by the salty lemonade found in Vietnam as a way to beat the heat. Without ice and ginger beer, this mix keeps well in the fridge, so consider making a large batch to help get you through the summer. If adding ginger kombucha, bear in mind that, though most brands are not legally considered alcoholic by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, they do contain trace amounts (up to 0.5 percent). If you're strictly abstaining, opt for something like non-alcoholic ginger beer or ginger ale.

Salted Lemon-Ginger Spritzer image

Steps:

Place the lemon and salt in a large wine glass and using the back of a spoon, lightly muddle to break up and release some of the oils and juices. Add lemon juice and ginger (if using) and top with lots of ice and ginger beer. Garnish with lemon wedge or fresh ginger.

Ingredients

1/4 lemon, seeds removed, coarsely chopped (skin, peel and all)
Small pinch of kosher salt or fine sea salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
Ginger beer or ginger kombucha, to taste
Lemon wedge or slice of fresh ginger, for garnish

MELON WITH GINGER

Refreshing, but with a slight kick. I made this up for a potluck based upon ingredients I had at home. Use a mild honey so as not to overwhelm the melon. If you like, add more or no blueberries. Feel free to add more sauce and change the ratio of ingredients to your taste.
