Ingredients
- Lemon Ginger Syrup:
- 4 ounces peeled, chopped fresh ginger
- 1/4-1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4-1/3 cup agave nectar
- Cocktail:
- 3 strawberries (fresh or thawed frozen berries)
- 2 oz. tequila
- 2 oz. lemon ginger syrup
- glug of soda water
- ice and super thin lemon slices for serving
Preparation
Step 1
Lemon Ginger Syrup:
Blitz the ginger in a food processor to form a coarse paste. Put it in a saucepan along with 3 cups of water and simmer for 30-40 minutes until reduced by half. Allow the mixture to cool slightly and strain it into a container. Stir in the lemon juice and agave nectar (I used roughly 1/3 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup agave. Adjust to your taste). This will make more syrup than you need but can be stored, covered in the fridge for two weeks.
Cocktail Assembly:
In your glass, cut up the berries and muddle them in the bottom of the glass. Fill it up with ice. Add the tequila, ginger syrup and a splash of soda water. Give it a stir, taste and add more of whichever you fancy.
Garnish with lemon slices and drink. I suppose you could make a pitcher of this for a party or shower just multiply each ingredients by about eight.
