The Ginger Pear Martini Food

GINGER MARTINI

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker or small pitcher with ice.

• Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
• Add twist and serve.
• Ginger Syrup:.
• Remove the outer peel of the lemon with a vegetable peeler, taking care not to include too much of the bitter white pith. Finely chop the lemon peel and ginger in a food processor.
• Transfer the lemon-ginger mixture to a medium saucepan, add the sugar and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture and cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
