This was pretty good. It is only a 3 1/2 oz drink, I felt like I should have doubled it! lol. My sugar turned very wet from the juice of the ginger. I spread it out and let it dry but I don't really get how you can do this without the ginger juice seeping into the sugar and wetting it. Help? I think next time I will swap out the Cointreau for Canton de Ginger. Can't get enough of that ginger flavor!

It’s slightly sweet for my taste. I also happened to have made orange vanilla simple syrup, and added 1/4 of that with 1/4 of the ginger syrup. Minused the sugar rim, added an ounce or two of seltzer. Delicious, really

I will try this swapping the 1/2 ounce ginger infused simple syrup with 1/2 ounce Canton de Ginger.

Good basic cocktail. Followed Nancy's suggestion and subbed Domaine de Canton for the Cointreau. Used 1 oz Meyer lemon juice instead of the 1/2 oz regular.
