What can I do with ginger syrup?
I got a bottle of (supposedly high quality) ginger syrup for Christmas. I've never seen or tasted it before, so I have no idea how to use it.
Since I like ginger, I considered just diluting it with water and drinking it. Or adding it to tea. Can it somehow be used for cooking or cocktails? I have tried searching, but my google-fu failed once again.

I love ginger syrup and use it for many things. I have just found that it is great for caramelising onions.
King Arthur has a recipe for ginger bread-yeasted-that includes a recipe for ginger syrup. You could substitute the bottled stuff. I've made it and it lasts a long time. Used it in a pinch for fresh ginger in a stir fry, also when canning peaches, pear or peach pie, mix with soda for ginger ale.
Boil some water with a slice of lemon in it, add ginger syrup and honey. Very tasty, and fantastic when you have a cold.
As for cocktail, I once tasted a very nice vodka-based cocktail with ginger. Not sure what the exact recipe was, but it had vodka, ginger, lemon and mint. I guess substituting ginger with ginger syrup would do in this case.
Things you can combine it with:
smoothies
ice cream
pancakes
oatmeal
tea
hot almond milk
rhubarb pie
fruit salad
dumplings (you can use the syrup as a sauce)
You can make ginger ale with it (or put some in regular lemonade), or cocktails (e.g. Dark Ginger Daiquiri; Ginger Rogers; here's a short list of cocktails containing ginger syrup). You can make cookies with it (e. g. this).
Ginger syrup is basically ginger, water and sugar. So practically everything that goes with ginger, will go with ginger syrup.
