This sweet-tangy mixture transforms even the cheapest beer into a refreshing company-worthy cocktail, but even teetotalers (or, you know, the kind of people who don’t believe in hair-of-the-dog hangover cures) can enjoy a splash in a tall glass of seltzer.

¼ cup (or more) pickled ginger juice

Step 1
Vigorously stir grapefruit juice, pickled ginger, pickled ginger juice, a small pinch of salt, and a good 20 cranks of pepper in a large pitcher. Taste and add more ginger juice, salt, and pepper if needed. Divide beer among ice-filled glasses and add a splash of grapefruit-ginger juice to taste.
