My sister and I hosted a backyard barbecue last Memorial day for a few close family and friends. During a quick party planning session, we decided that having an outstanding alcoholic drink would be a must for two reasons 1) to boost the festivities and 2) make conversations with our grandpa's girlfriend, Ludy, more interesting. Scanning through a cocktail inspired book I acquired over Christmas called, THE ART OF THE BAR, I found just the drink to bring the Patriotic flare to our small ensemble.
BACK PORCH LEMONADE
2 ounces Back-Porch Premix (equal parts Ginger Syrup, lemon juice, cranberry juice)
2 ounces citron Vodka
Ginger ale to fill
Ginger Syrup
2 ounces ginger, thinly sliced
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tsp whole peppercorns
Combine the ginger, sugar, water and peppercorns in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the syrup smells very gingery. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Strain and transfer to a bottle.
