Blood Orange Ginger Cosmo
Holiday 2009
This cocktail requires the freshly grated ginger to be put directly into the glass and the cocktail poured overtop. For a more subtle ginger flavour, put grated ginger into the shaker.
¼ tsp freshly grated ginger
1½ oz vodka
½ oz Cointreau (or other orange-flavoured liqueur)
1 oz blood orange juice
Garnish: Candied Blood Orange Wheel (recipe below)
1. Place freshly grated ginger into Martini glass. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine vodka, Cointreau and blood orange juice. Shake and strain into glass. Garnish with Candied Blood Orange Wheel.
Candied Blood Orange Wheel
¾ cup sugar plus ¼ cup extra for coating
½ cup water
1 blood orange, sliced
1. Stir the ¾ cup of sugar and water in a small, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil. Add the orange slices and simmer over medium low heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the peels to a sheet of parchment paper to dry slightly, about 10 minutes. Place extra sugar in bowl and toss slices individually until coated. Dry on a parchment lined tray in a single layer.
