How to Make Blue Ginger Gimlet
- **Make the Ginger Syrup:** In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup water, and 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the syrup has reduced by half and thickened to a syrupy consistency (about 40-45 minutes).
- Remove from heat and strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a heat-safe container, discarding the ginger solids. Let cool completely.
- **Assemble the Gimlet:** In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces gin, 1 ounce fresh lime juice, ¾ ounce ginger syrup, and a handful of ice.
- Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
- Strain into a chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with a lime wheel or a thin lime twist.
