    HOW TO MAKE: Gingerbread Martini

    Ingredients:
    3/4 cup water
    3/4 cup sugar
    3/4 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, coarsely chopped
    2 sticks of Cinnamon
    3 cloves

    Preparation: Simmer water, sugar, ginger, cloves and cinnamon stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes.
    Pour hot syrup through a fine sieve and chill
    Let stand 20 minutes.

    Ice
    2 ounces vodka
    1/2 to 1 ounce gingerbread syrup, recipe above

    Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka and gingerbread syrup, Cover and shake vigorously, or stir, until combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, by the time the shaker mists up, the drink is ready.) Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add twist of lemon or lime and serve.
