Ginger Cosmopolitan

The addition of ginger and orange zest to the ginger cosmopolitan creates a delicious alternative to the traditional cosmopolitan.

• 1 1/2 ounces (50 ml) of lemon vodka
• 1/2 tablespoons (25 ml) of triple sec
• 1 1/2 tablespoons (25 ml) of cranberry juice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons (25 ml) of lime juice
• 2 thin slices of ginger
• Orange zest (peel)

Instructions

Fill a shaker with ice.  Put all of the ingredients, except for the orange zest, into the shaker. Shake, and then strain into a martini glass that has been c hilled.

Light the orange zest so that it is flaming. Hold it carefully over the drink with the skin facing down. Squeeze the zest so the oils from the orange pass through the flame and onto the drink.  Add the zest as a garnish. Serve.
