SWITCHEL (HAYMAKER'S PUNCH)

Steps:

• Using a two cup liquid measuring spoon, add the apple cider vinegar, molasses, honey, and ginger.
• Whisk these together until combined and the ginger dissolved.
• Pour this into a half gallon mason jar or pitcher.
• If you'd like to use lemons, wash, slice, and seed one lemon. Add this to the mason jar.
• If you want to drink this with club soda and you are serving a large crowd, add two quarts of club soda to the mixture and stir gently, serve over ice.
• If you don't want a fizzy version, pour in two cups of cold water and stir until well combined. Serve over ice. Even better if you make it the day before you'll need it.
• Another option is to make the vinegar, molasses, honey, and ginger mixture along with the lemons, and keep it in the fridge. Then as you want a glass here or there, you can make individual servings.
• A final option is to add a half cup of oats to the completed recipe. They will sink to the bottom after a few minutes.
