Ginger syrup is the hot new cocktail flavor

Move over, ginger is spicing up drinks all over town. Cocktails flavored with ginger have migrate from Asian fusion restaurants such as Shinsei and Asian Mint to Latin restaurants like La Duni and Masaryk Modern Mexican Kitchen. One of the most general cocktails is a boozy ginger limeade made with ginger-infused simple syrup. Equally Dragonfly and Shinsei spike theirs with Hangar One Kaffir Lime Vodka. At Masaryk, gingery simple syrup gives additional kick to a margarita and a kid-friendly lime agua fresca.
Ginger syrup even match up with green tea. It's easy to create your own ginger syrup. Since it keeps for up to two weeks in the refrigerator, you can have it on hand for flavoring a large variety of drinks – even soda water.
