Cranberry Ginger Martini Recipe 45

Steps:

• Muddle ginger and cranberries in a shaker. Add ice, vodka, juices, and simple syrup. Shake well. Strain into a martini glass, and add a splash of sprite. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Steps:

• For the ginger syrup: Place all syrup ingredients in a saucepan and simmer until sugar dissolves and the ginger is infused in the syrup, about 20 minutes. Strain and allow to cool fully before use.
• For the drink: Crush the frozen cranberries in a large glass pitcher. Add the lime juice and their juiced wedges to the pitcher. Pour in the vodka, cranberry juice, and ginger syrup. Put ice in low-ball glasses and fill glasses about 2/3 full. Top off with club soda and garnish with a shaving of fresh ginger.

Steps:

• Put the ice in a shaker.
• Add the vodka, cranberry juice, and lime juice.
• Shake.
• Place the powdered ginger in a chilled martini glass.*.
• Add the vodka-cranberry mixture and top with the tonic.
• Place 1 cranberry, some candied ginger, and another cranberry on a toothpick or cocktail skewer.
• Place in the martini glass.
• *Use a light hand when sprinkling the powdered ginger into the glass, or it will overpower the drink.

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
