- Difficulty: Easy

Servings 1 cocktail
Author Monica C

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Alvear Fino
  • 1 oz Guava Juice
  • 1/2 oz Aperol
  • 1/2 oz Honey Ginger Syrup *

Instructions

  1. Grab a cocktail shaker and add all your ingredients. Fill with cracked ice and give this a good shake.

  2. Strain over fresh cracked ice (almost crushed)

Recipe Notes

* To make the Honey Ginger Syrup, I simply stirred together 1/2 cup honey with 1/2 cup boiling water and grated 1 inch of ginger. Stir until the honey has dissolved and let it sit for 15 minutes before straining. Can hold in the fridge for at least 2 weeks.

When it comes to Ginger, I always pick up the Peruvian or Jamaican Ginger. Much of the Chinese ginger I find doesn't carry the same amount of heat like Jamaican Ginger. So be mindful of this. I used Jamaican Ginger, but if you only have access to something not as potent, grate a bit more.

I don't have a garnish on here, can't decide if that was intentional or not, but if I were to have add anything, maybe a dehydrated Orange Wheel, or Mint would do wonders.
