Step 1

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ginger slices, Swerve (all but reserved 2 tablespoons), and water. Stir until Swerve dissolves. Boil for about 20 minutes, until syrup begins to thicken. Remove from heat, strain to remove ginger, and let cool. Toss ginger slices with reserved Swerve to coat and set aside.

Step 2

In a pitcher or cocktail shaker with ice, combine ginger syrup and lemon juice. Stir or shake to mix. Divide amongst 4 glasses, fill each to rim with club soda, and garnish with a slice of candied ginger and a twirl of lemon peel.
