Cocktail Recipe
Bright, bold, and beautifully balanced, this cocktail packs a zingy punch with crisp Dr. L Dry Riesling, fresh lemon juice, and spicy-smooth ginger syrup. It’s refreshing, vibrant, and just the right amount of kick—like a citrusy high-five in a glass.
Ingredients:
- 4 oz. Dr. L Dry Riesling
- 1 ½ oz. lemon juice
- ½ oz. Ginger syrup
Pour the ingredients into an ice-filled cocktail shaker and shake to combine. Strain into an ice-filled Collins glass. Garnish with a wide lemon peel and candied-ginger.
To make ginger syrup:
- 8 ounces chopped ginger (225 grams)
- 4 cups water filtered or spring water preferred
- 2 cups sugar organic cane
- pinch salt
Cut the ginger into thin slices, then coarsely chop it into smaller pieces. Place the ginger along with the water, sugar, and salt in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a steady simmer. Cook for 45 minutes to one hour.
Let cool, then strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer. Store the strained syrup in the refrigerator, covered, until ready to use.
