A new favorite recipe I found from a NY Times article, and have tested and tweaked over the last couple of days. In addition to the sharp ginger zip, this puppy packs a "punch" and is as sweet or not as you like...
2 ounces Domaine de Canton ginger and cognac liqueur.
1 ounce vanilla vodka.
2 ½ounces apple cider.
Dash of lemon juice.
Agave syrup (or honey) and finely crumbled gingersnap cookies, for rimming the glass.
Orange zest, for garnish (optional).
1. Spread agave syrup or honey on a plate and dip the rim of a chilled cocktail glass into it to lightly coat the edges.
2. Spread the crumbled cookies on another plate and dip the coated rim into the crumbs so that they adhere.
3. Add the liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into the prepared glass and float the orange zest on top.
Yield: 1 serving.
(PS - Let me know if posting this type of recipe violates the blog rules or intent; I'll take it down, no worries) Cheers, Jade
