Our friend Steve from the States sent me this and he said he got it from Food & Wine Magazine. I thought it looked interesting and am posting it here for safe keeping. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 tablespoon hot water |
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated |
1 piece cucumber, 3 inch piece, peeled, seeded and diced |
3 basil leaves (tear up 2 of them) |
2 ounces gin |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
ice |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the hot water.
2. Press the grated ginger through a fine strainer set over the bowl, releasing the juice.
3. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the diced cucumber with the 2 torn basil leaves.
4. Add the ginger syrup, gin, lime juice and a handful of ice.
5. Shake well, then strain into a martini glass.
6. Garnish the martini with a cucumber slice and the remaining whole basil leaf and serve.
