Rhubarb Fizz!
Rhubarb Fizz
Originally done by Martha Stewart
8 oz gin (doesn't have to be top shelf....we used middle shelf gin)
1 c Rhubarb Simple Syrup
1/2 c fresh lemon juice
1-2 cans ginger ale
1-2 lemons, cut into rounds
Divide lemon rounds between 6 glasses and fill with ice. Stir together gin, simple syrup, lemon juice and divide evenly between glasses. Finish with a splash (or more, if you like) of ginger ale.
Enjoy!!!
Recently I read an article about ginger beer and ginger ale cocktails at Saveur Magazine. They all looked delicious and I thought it would be fun to try a new one each week this summer.

We made the Pear Haymaker last weekend, and it was a hit. Here's what you'll need:
pears - the riper the better
vodka - we used Absolute Pear Vodka. YUM.
ginger simple syrup (see below)
fresh lemon juice
ginger ale
It's a pretty simple drink, and it goes something like this:**
Muddle half a very ripe pear into a pint glass. (the link to the muddle video is well worth the watch, and quite entertaining - who knew muddling was such an art!)
Add
2 oz vodka
1/2 oz ginger syrup
1/2 oz lemon juice
Fill the glass with ice and top with a swirl of ginger ale.
***I 'eyeballed' all the measurements, by the way, but I'm including the amounts from the recipe so you can make it just right!)
Ginger syrup
Grate a bunch of ginger into a saucepan, (a bunch = approx. 1/2 c)
Add 1 c sugar and 1 1/2 c water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain. This will keep in the fridge for at least a couple weeks. (I use it to make ginger lemonade, inspired by Santa Cruz Lemon Ginger Echinacea juice)
