Simple Syrup:
2 stalks of lemongrass, split down the middle
1 lime, sliced

Spritzer:
1 ounce lemongrass lime simple syrup
2 ounces gin or vodka
Tonic or club soda
Lime, garnish
Directions
- Slice lemongrass longwise and add to a medium pot with sliced lime. Add sugar and water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. When mixture is simmering, turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10-15 minutes to infuse flavors.
- Pour simple syrup into a squeeze bottle and let cool. If you’re in a rush, add the squeeze bottle to a bowl of ice water and it will chill down in just a few minutes.
