Category: Drinks
Yield: 2 drinks
Ingredients
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 small to medium plums, sliced
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
  • 3 oz vodka
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
Instructions
  1. Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a low boil and stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture is clear, about 5-7 minutes. Add sliced plums and ginger and turn heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes on low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain syrup into a jar or other container.*
  2. In a measuring cup or cocktail shaker, combine vodka, lime juice, and 2 ounces of the plum-ginger syrup. Add 5-6 ice cubes and shake/stir until well-chilled. Strain into martini glasses, or serve over more ice. Garnish with additional sliced plum, if desired.
Notes
*You can make the syrup ahead and refrigerate for up to two weeks prior to using.
