Ginger Margaritas

Directions

1. 1

   To make the ginger syrup, peel the ginger (either using a vegetable peeler or teaspoon) & slice finely. Add to a saucepan with the sugar & water, bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer & heat for 25 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool, then refrigerate until well chilled to allow the ginger to fully infuse. Run the mixture through a sieve, discard the ginger & chill the syrup until ready to use.

2. 2

   To make the margaritas fill a cocktail shaker with ice & add the cocktail ingredients. Shake well & pour into ice-filled tumblers. I like to give them a salty rim beforehand (just run a lime wedge around the edge of the glass & roll the glass in your best flaky sea salt). Garnish with a slice of fresh ginger.
