Ginger Lemon Vermoncktail Recipe margaretelise

• 4 shots (1/2 c +) vodka
• 1 piece ginger (peeling unnecessary if washed)
• 1/2 lemon
• 2 T+ good (ie Vermont) maple syrup
• Ginger ale
• Ice

1. Chop ginger and let it soak in vodka for at least 4 hours.
2. The smaller the pieces and the longer it soaks, the spicier it will be.
3. If you slice it into disks, smash them with the end of a heavy knife to break them up a bit and release more flavor.
4. Squeeze 1/2 a lemon into the ginger vodka, stir and strain.
5. Using fork or small whisk, pour and mix in the maple syrup.
6. A shaker would probably work too.
7. Divide the mixture into two glasses filled with ice and top with ginger ale.
8. I preferred 2 parts vodka mix to 1 part ginger ale.
9. Enjoy!
