Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup 2 ounces brandy
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 tablespoon 1/2 ounce fresh ginger juice (see note)
  • 1 tablespoon 1/2 ounce orgeat
  • 1 tablespoon 1/2 ounce pineapple gum syrup
  • dash Angostura bitters
  • ice
  • lemon twist for garnish

Method
 

  1. Combine brandy, lemon juice, ginger juice, orgeat, and pineapple gum syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Cover and shake vigorously until sweat beads the outside of the cocktail shaker.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, shake a few drops of bitters over the top, add a lemon twist and enjoy!

Notes

To make the ginger juice; press fresh ginger through a juicer, no need to peel. If you don't have a juicer, peel a large piece of fresh ginger, chop and blend in a food processor until very finely chopped. Press through a fine mesh strainer. Ginger juice can be kept in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
