If you have ginger syrup, substitute for the fresh ginger and simple syrup.

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.

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.
