I am a big fan of most of Guy's recipes but I must say that this was a bit too sweet for me. I tried reducing the vodka to syrup ratio from 1-1 to (eventually 2-1 and liked it much better. I can only recommend that you start with less syrup and taste it. Figure out the right ratio for you and make it that way. I served them with small pieces of crystalized ginger and that was a nice touch.

Love this! I already do a ginger syrup that is close but with 2 cups peeled ginger and the ginger taste comes out a lot. You can also freeze the syrup and defrost in the microwave so you have it on hand.

I found the drink too sweet and reduced the syrup to 1 oz. Also, I found my syrup did not have enough ginger flavor to stand out in the martini against the lime, so with the second try I muddled a few sliced ginger coins and liked it much better.
