Thirsty Thursday: New Ginger Citrus Cocktail

I think I'm on a ginger kick, and I'm fairly sure it goes with absolutely everything. It does take a little prep work (maybe not the best ingredient for your first night of bartending), but is well worth the effort when it comes to perking up a drink. This cocktail is easy to make (after the ginger part), light, and refreshing.

1/2 ounce orange juice
1/2 ounce lemon juice
1/2 ounce lime
