3-inch pieces fresh ginger, peeled
6 tablespoons superfine sugar
2 oz tequila
1 oz port
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz Simple Ginger Syrup (recipe below)
1 oz chilled club soda
4 small pieces candied ginger for garnish
To make Ginger Syrup, coarsely chop the fresh ginger and puree in a food processor. Next strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve – you need roughly one ounce of ginger juice. Return the juice to the processor and add superfine sugar and mix well. Next, add the tequila, port, lime juice, 1/2 ounce ginger syrup and bitters to a shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into an ice-filled highball glass. Add club soda to the glass and stir. Add some candied ginger as a garnish and you’re all done!
