If you have the time, take about a cup of ginger root - cut into large pieces - and place in a large mason jar with a lid. Pour in a 750ml bottle of good vodka and replace the lid. Let it rest for a week or so. The ginger root infused vodka is superb.
If you have ginger syrup, substitute for the fresh ginger and simple syrup.
Fabulously tasty!!!
Loved these! Didn’t have citrus vodka so muddled lemon peel with the ginger. Crowd pleaser!
I used 1/2 the simple syrup called for, and substituted the Cointreau, with Curaçao. This is our new favorite martini!
A quicker, slightly less lemon version: -sub plain Ketel One for the Citroen -reduce Cointreau to 1/2 oz. -substitute 3/4 oz. Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur for the syrup & OJ -replace fresh ginger w/1 spear candied or uncrystallized ginger. Same directions, except: rub chilled glass w/the ginger, then add as garnish.
