Step 1

Stir ginger, half of strawberries, sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a medium saucepan until sugar dissolves. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat; simmer gently until strawberries have lost most of their color, 15-20 minutes. Remove pan with strawberry syrup from heat.

Step 2

Using potato masher or fork, gently crush remaining strawberries in medium bowl. Strain strawberry syrup over through fine-mesh sieve over crushed berries and press on cooked berries in sieve to extract as much liquid as possible; discard cooked berries and ginger. Add lime juice and salt to berry mixture and stir to combine. Chill until cold, about 1 hour.

Step 3

To serve, divide amongst 4 glasses filled with ice about halfway; too off with club soda. Garnish each with lime wedge and serve with straws.
