Equipment

  • 1 cocktail shaker

Ingredients

  • 60 ml gin
  • 30 ml Fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 20 ml lemon juice
  • 15 ml honey syrup Boil equal parts honey and water until honey dissolves (50g water and 50g honey will yield enough)
  • 10 ml fresh ginger juice
  • 1 egg white

Instructions

  1. To make ginger juice, finely grate ginger with a microplane grater or the fine side of a box grater. Using a piece of cheese cloth, clean tea towel or just with your hands into a shot glass/measuring glass.
    2. 45-50 g fresh ginger yields about 1 Tb juice. A garlic press will also work if you don’t have a grater. Don’t be tempted to replace with powdered ginger.
  2. Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake well until combined. Add a handful of ice, shake again and pour into desired glass. Garnish with orange slice, dried orange slice or orange peel.
