Step 1

To make the Ginger Syrup Ginger Ale: In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the ginger, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the syrup thickens slightly and turns a pale gold color, about 20 minutes. Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass jar. Discard the solids. Let the syrup cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. For each serving, mix 2 tablespoons ginger syrup with 1 cup sparkling water in a 16-ounce glass. Stir 1 tablespoon lemon and 1 teaspoon lime juice into each glass. If desired, stir ½ teaspoon vanilla into each glass.
