Ingredients

Ice
3 ounces vodka, any flavor
1/2 to 1 ounce ginger syrup, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Twist of lemon or lime

Directions

Fill a cocktail shaker or small pitcher with ice. Add the vodka, ginger syrup, and lime juice. Cover and shake vigorously, or stir, until combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, by the time the shaker mists up the drink is ready.) Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add twist and serve.

Ginger Syrup:

1 lemon

2 cups coarsely chopped fresh ginger with peel, about 8 ounces

1 cup sugar

2 cups water

Remove the outer peel of the lemon with a vegetable peeler, taking care not to include too much of the bitter white pith. Finely chop the lemon peel and ginger in a food processor.

Transfer the lemon-ginger mixture to a medium saucepan, add the sugar and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture and cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Yield: 2 cups

Terrible
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

It was way too strong with ginger flavor. I love ginger and it was just too strong for the party goers and I threw it out.

Great, with some modifications
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this a little "lighter" by adding a dash more ginger syrup and a splash of Sprite. Better for those who don't like so... much vodka presence. Also, I did a lemon zest with sugar rim. Yum!Read more

I've been making these for two years, ever since I saw the recipe. Always take them on the road for out of town adventures.

Too Strong
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I love the ginger flavor but this recipe calls for too much vodka. The proportions are off. We made the drink better by... adding some seltzer.Read more

Ginger overload
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I love ginger, but this is too much. If you have your heart set on a ginger martini, simply decrease the amount of ginger in... the simple syrup.Read more
