Ginger Daiquiri Recipes

GINGER DAIQUIRI

Steps:

• Swipe the orange peel on the rim of a cocktail glass; press the wet rim down into a shallow dish of the ginger sugar, to ''frost'' the rim.
• Combine the remaining ingredients in a shaker with ice; shake and strain into the glass, to the rim. Garnish with peel.

FROZEN WATERMELON DAIQUIRIS

Steps:

• Spread the watermelon cubes on a sheet pan or other tray and freeze until firm, about 3 hours. Once the cubes are frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container and store for up to 1 week.
• Place 5 cups of the frozen watermelon cubes in a blender. Blend on low to crush some of the watermelon cubes. (It's OK if they aren't uniformly crushed.) Add 3/4 cup rum, 1/3 cup lime juice, 1/4 simple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend on low, raising the speed and pausing to stir if necessary, until thick and slushy in texture.
• Pour the mixture into 3 glasses and repeat with the remaining 5 cups watermelon, 3/4 cup rum, 1/3 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup simple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon salt to make a second batch.
• Serve the drinks cold, finished with an additional splash of rum if desired and garnished with lime wedges.

STRAWBERRY GINGER DAQUIRI

Steps:

• Combine the strawberries, rum, lime juice, Simple Syrup and ginger in the carafe of a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into frozen drink glasses and garnish with sliced strawberries. Serve immediately.
• Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Keep covered in the refrigerator up to 1 month.
