Ginger Gimlet
1 jigger (1 1/2 oz) vodka
1 knob fresh ginger and candied ginger strips for garnish
1-2 spring fresh mint
1/2 pony (1/2 oz) sake
1/2 tsp simple syrup
lime wedge
ice cubes
Peel the fresh ginger, and grate it on the finest rasp of a grater. Measure out 1 1/2 tsp for 1 cocktail, or to taste.
Chill a martini glass in the freezer. Chop the mint finely and measure out 1/2 tsp. Fill a cocktail shaker three-fourths full with ice. Add vodka, sake, syrup, ginger & chopped mint. Shake vigorously for 10-20 seconds, then strain into prepared glass. Squeeze lime wedge into the cocktail, discarding the lime. Garnish with candied ginger.
