  9. For Ginger-Raspberry Sunset Spritzer, bring water, sugar and fresh ginger to a boil in a small saucepan. Add raspberries and lightly smash them into mixture. Allow to sit for at least 1 hour, then strain through fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth and reserve the syrup. In a clear cup or glass with ice, add ginger ale first. Then add a small amount of raspberry syrup over top. Garnish with a fresh raspberry. The syrup will make its way to the bottom if left unstirred, creating a sunset colors.
