Hilda, that drink sounds ono! Dunno if you’re buying ginger syrup but here’s an easy peasy recipe. Keeps 2-3 weeks in the frig. Store bought keeps almost forever.
Cheers

Fresh Ginger Syrup
This syrup from Betty Fraser and Denise DeCarlo, owners of Grub in Hollywood, Calif., is fantastic in cocktails but it also makes an out-of-this-world ginger ale. To make ginger ale, simply fill an ice-filled glass a third of the way with the syrup, top with soda water and a squeeze of lime, stir and enjoy.

2 cups unpeeled, washed, fresh ginger, roughly chopped
2 cups sugar
6 cups water

Process ginger chunks in a food processor or blender until finely chopped. Place in a large stock pot. Add sugar and water to the pot and stir. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook for one hour until a rich syrup is created. Strain the syrup twice through cheese cloth or a sieve into a large jar or bottle. Refrigerate. I slice and chop the unpeeled ginger with a chefs knife since I don’t own a processor. Peel the ginger first for a lighter product
