2 cup(s) Ginger, fresh, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch slices
4 cup(s) Sugar
2 cup(s) Water
1 quart(s) Club soda, well-chilled
1 can(s) Lime, quartered
4 can(s) Mint sprigs

Instructions:
1. Combine the ginger, 2 cups of the sugar, and the water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until syrupy or reduced by half, 40-45 minutes. The syrup will thicken as it cools, so don't over-reduce it. Strain the syrup and reserve the ginger.
2. Preheat the oven to 225° F. Place the remaining 2 cups sugar in a large bowl, add the reserved ginger, and toss to coat on all sides. Place the ginger on a baking sheet and bake until dried but still chewy, about 3 hours.
3. To make the floats, fill 4 8-ounce glasses with the club soda. Pour 2 Tablespoons of the ginger syrup down the side of each glass (4 Tablespoons if you prefer a sweeter float). Squeeze a lime wedge into each drink, and garnish with a mint sprig. Serve with the ginger candy.
