Adapted from a recipe created in 2016 by Riccardo Aletta (AKA 'Ricky D Wing') at Holy Birds, London, England. Ricky calls this drink a "Vegan Last Word," but we thought 'Ginger' better said what was in the tin.

Really, really liked this cocktail. Still a bit on the sweet side for me, but loved the heavy ginger flavour of the final cocktail. As we both love ginger, this earned a list on our favourites. May up the lime juice slightly to lessen the sweetness.
