Ingredients
Ginger-Infused Simple Syrup:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sliced ginger (about 2 ounces)
- 1/2 cup vodka
Directions
Simmer water, 1/2 cup sugar and sliced ginger in a small saucepan for 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vodka. Chill for 2 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, strain to remove the ginger pieces.
Cocktail and Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 lemon, sliced into wedges
- 3 tablespoons candied ginger, cubed for garnish
- 1 bottle chilled sparkling wine
Spread the sugar into a thin layer on a plate. Coat the rim of the glass with the juice from the lemon wedge and immediately dredge in the plate of sugar.
Add a few pieces of candied ginger to each glass. Pour 1 tablespoon of the ginger-infused simple syrup over the ginger pieces and top with the sparkling wine until the glass is 2/3 full.

When I first saw Vodka as an ingredient, I was skeptical - yet intrigued. It was an interesting and tasty use of the Prosecco (which I substituted for the Champagne. I used 1 tbsp per 8-oz glass (didn't have any flutes and it was just enough ginger - especially with the cocktail-soaked piece of candied ginger at the end!

The first drink I made didn't taste very gingery so I tripled the amount of the syrup/vodka mixture per glass and it was fabulous! So rather than 1T per glass - do 3T. Very good!

we tried this recipe and used deco ginger rum, and its pretty spectacular. its a darker colored spirit from vodka but if you like that extra sugary something with unapologetic ginger right at the forefront.. give it a try! the sweetness from a non-dry champagne really balances it out!!
