The Ginger Martini is a simple cocktail which displays the flavor profile of a ginger liqueur (specifically Domaine de Canton) nicely. That is because vodka is almost tasteless you get the almost raw flavor of fresh ginger and, in this case, vanilla-honey Cognac. In theory you could garnish this cocktail with some fresh or candied ginger but that can be too much of one flavor and a quick twist of lemon essence dropped into it instead is the perfect pairing.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz vodka
- 1 1/2 oz ginger liqueur
- squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- lemon twist for garnish
Preparation:
- Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake well.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish with a lemon twist.
