Ingredients
  

For Ginger Simple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sliced fresh ginger
For Martini
  • 3 oz gin I used Harry Blu’s Gin — floral notes work well with sorrel

  • 2/3 oz ginger simple syrup

Method
 

Ginger Simple Syrup
  1. Add sugar and water to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  2. Add sliced ginger and reduce to a simmer. Let it simmer for 4 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and allow to steep until fully cooled.
  4. Strain out the ginger before using.

  2. Shake without ice to combine the ingredients.
  3. For a colder martini, add ice and shake again until chilled.
  4. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with food-grade dried hibiscus flowers, if desired.

Notes

Sorrel infusion: Steep 3 tablespoons dried sorrel in 2 ounces hot water. Allow to cool, then strain before using.
Using prepared sorrel drink: You can substitute your regular homemade sorrel drink for the infusion. Since it's already sweetened and spiced, adjust the ginger syrup to taste.
