Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 ounces Scotch whiskey* (3 tablespoons)
3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon, 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1/2 ounce ginger syrup (1 tablespoon)
1/2 ounce honey syrup (1 tablespoon)
1 sprig rosemary, for garnish (optional)
12 ounces ginger** (350 grams, or to yield 1/2 cup, 125 milliliters, of juice)
1/2 cup sugar (100 grams)
3/4 cup honey*** (255 grams)
1/4 cup hot water (60 milliliters)

Steps:

  • Remove the peel from the ginger and roughly chop it. It's easiest to scrape using the back of a spoon.
  • Using a juicer: this is the most efficient way of juicing your ginger. Add the peeled ginger to the juicer and it will do the rest!
  • Using a food processor/blender: Add the peeled chunks of ginger to your food processor and pulse until it forms a paste. If using a blender you may need to add a couple of tablespoons of water to help it out. Strain this mixture through a nut milk bag or a cheesecloth, squeeze the juice out of the pulp.
  • Then combine the ginger juice with an equal amount of sugar. So 1/2 cup of ginger juice needs 1/2 cup of sugar. Shake well to dissolve the sugar. Strain into a jar with a tight lid. This mixture holds in the fridge for at least 1 month.
  • Mix honey with warm water until the honey dissolves. Pour into a jar with a tight lid and it will keep in the fridge for at least 1 month.
  • Combine ginger syrup, honey syrup, lemon juice and whiskey with a few ice cubes in a shaker. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into your favorite whiskey glasses. Serve with or without ice.
  • I also love to garnish with a rosemary sprig. It adds a nice, aromatic touch that goes wonderfully with ginger and whiskey. Relax, and enjoy all this 'cures all' drink has to offer.
