History:

Adapted from a recipe created in 2008 by Jim Meehan at PDT in New York City, USA. Jim's original recipe calls for 30ml (1oz) Ginger Wort syrup in place of liqueur.

To make Ginger Wort syrup
Pour 3 cups of boiling water into a large glass bowl containing 1 cup minced fresh ginger and 40 grams (1.5 ounces) light muscovado sugar. Stir to combine, cover and leave to stand for 90 minutes. Stir in 22.5ml (¾oz) lime juice and then strain, pressing the ginger to extract its juices, bottle and refrigerate. Use within 24 hours.

This is sweaty and sticky and dank and dirty in all the right ways. I want this to be my bath wash or after shave... I used Barrow's and Real passion fruit syrup... Though delicious with these, I do believe subtle tweaks could take this into 5 or 5+ territory. Tenochtiki, or no?
