At the last Nights On the Neck Sigrid was serving up these drinks and I will tell you it was probably the most refreshing delicious libation I drank all summer. Try it for yourself this weekend while we still have some summer left!
RECIPE:
1 part vodka
1 part sparkling water
1/2 part fresh ginger syrup*
splash cranberry juice
Mix and serve over ice.
* to make ginger syrup:
Cut very fresh ginger root into large chunks and cover with water. Simmer slowly on the stove for 30-40 minutes until the water is well saturated with the ginger. Strain through a sieve and discard the ginger pieces. Take the ginger liquid and combine with equal parts sugar (I use organic sugar). Simmer on the stove for about 10 minutes to dissolve the sugar and make a syrup. Cool before using. It may be stored in the fridge.
