SPECIALTY COCKTAILS

  1. 1

    Make the ginger shrub (prepare ahead)

    In a small saucepan, combine grated ginger (2 tbsp), sugar (2 tbsp), apple cider vinegar (3 tbsp), and water (1/4 cup). Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool. Strain through a fine mesh and refrigerate until cold. This yields shrub concentrate for about 4 oz; you will use 2 oz per drink.

  2. 2

    Fill a highball glass with ice (about 1 cup).

  3. 3

    Pour Tito's Vodka into the glass (2 oz).

  4. 4

    Add the prepared ginger shrub (2 oz).

  5. 5

    Add fresh lime juice (0.5 oz).

  6. 6

    Add Angostura bitters (2 dashes).

  7. 7

    Top with club soda (4 oz) and give a gentle stir to combine.

  8. 8

    Garnish with an orange twist. Serve immediately.
