Ingredients:
3/4 cup water |
3/4 cup sugar |
3/4 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, coarsely chopped |
2 sticks of cinnamon |
3 whole cloves |
ice |
2 ounces vodka |
1/2 to 1 ounce gingerbread syrup |
Directions:
1. GINGER SYRUP: Simmer water, sugar, ginger, cloves and cinnamon stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Pour hot syrup through a fine sieve and chill. Let stand 20 minutes until using, so all sediment has settled to the bottom. Servings: Approximately 3/4 cup.
2. MARTINI: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka and gingerbread syrup. Cover and shake vigorously until combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
3. This recipe calls for homemade ginger syrup but you can buy a commercially prepared version at specialty food stores (try the coffee aisle).
