First you have to make Ginger Syrup. 2 oz ginger, thinly sliced 1 cup sugar 1 1/2 cup water 1 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
Combine in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Continue to simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the syrup smells very gingery. Remove, cool and then strain (I suggest a coffee filter). Refrigerate and this will last for two weeks.
This batch will make about 1 3/4 cups which then you add to equal parts of Lemon Juice and Cranberry Juice. Back to the fridge until you are ready to use, premix is done.
The Cocktail_ Take two oz of Premix two oz of Citron Vodka over ice top with Ginger Ale (note that the balance of Ginger Ale will make the final balance of lemonade flavor. I use a 15 oz cup with about 9 medium cubes with the mix and then top).
Garnish with a lemon wedge, or infused cherries, what ever suits your fancy.
Cheers, TB
I prefer the Isle seat
