Notes: The fresh ginger gives this lemonade a spicy punch and it is very refreshing. We (Teresa, Ernie, Lucille, and Nancy) had a version of this lemonade when we visited The Ferral Pig in Kauai. This is my attempt at replicating it. They did not serve it with mint but Teresa put some in it and it turned out delicious.
