- Shake well and strain into a Collins glass with ice.
- Finish filling the glass with club soda and garnish with a lime!
Comments & Credit
- Any vodka will work, but as with any recipe; the better the ingredients, the better the finished product. Pickers has been our new favorite this year; it has the quality of a vodka 3-4 times more in cost! Super smooth.
- The ginger syrup will keep refrigerated for a couple of weeks; it could also be frozen.
- A big thanks to our bartender, Benjy for working on this great drink and letting me be the taste tester! Benjy is also responsible for the awesome photography above.
- This has been an addictive drink at Evins Mill this fall; enjoy!
