This soft cocktail is a great option for those looking for a spicy kick in their drink. The ginger provides a soothing element apart from the spice that can cool you down. The non-alcoholic bitters provides another layer of flavor while balancing the sweetness of the Sprite. You can use the candied ginger as a stirrer to add more spice and sweetness to the drink.
