How to Make Ginger Mint Lemonade With A Kick
- **Make the Ginger Syrup:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup peeled and thinly sliced fresh ginger, and 1 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- **Cool and Strain:** Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove ginger pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- **Muddle the Mint:** In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle 10-12 fresh mint leaves with 2 tablespoons of the ginger syrup.
- **Combine Ingredients:** Add 2 ounces of vodka, 4 ounces of fresh lemon juice, and ice to the shaker.
- **Shake Well:** Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
- **Sugar the Rim:** Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of a highball glass. Dip the rim into a shallow dish of granulated sugar.
- **Strain and Serve:** Fill the glass with ice. Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass.
- **Garnish:** Garnish with a lemon wedge and a sprig of fresh mint.
