Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Finely grate ginger and, using a flexible spatula, press solids into a fine-mesh sieve set over a small bowl; discard pulp. You should have about 1 tsp. ginger juice.

    Step 2

    Combine ginger juice, lemon juice, lime juice, agave, and salt in a large measuring cup or bowl. Stir in mineral water. Pour over 2 glasses filled with ice.

    Do ahead: Lemon-ginger mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Stir vigorously before adding mineral water.
