Ginger’s Island
Spring 2016
Bourbon and ginger are a natural fit. You can mince ginger and add it to Simple Syrup (recipe follows), but a quicker and more efficient way to bring them together is to juice the ginger and then add it to the cocktail. The taste is more prevalent, and it’s ready to go right away!

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add 1½ oz bourbon, 1 oz lemon juice and ½ oz Ginger Honey Syrup (recipe follows). Shake sharply and strain into a coupette glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
