This is something that takes a few days to really make, as it's an infusion or a flavored vodka recipie. Skin a medium nob of ginger root with a veggie peeler. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just cuts down on crud in the final product. Now slice the ginger very thinly, across the root, either with a paring knife or a mandolin. Pour about 16oz of vodka in a jar, any will do; add the shaved ginger; add about 2 tablespoons of sugar. Don't worry, it won't be particularly sweet, but the sugar is necessary to bring out the ginger's flavor. Seal the jar & shake it to dissolve the sugar, and then let sit. Minimum 8 hours, best after a couple of days. Shake the jar again once or twice a day, and give it a quick one-two before you drink it. Shoots like a dream, impress your friends, add a new twist to your basic cocktails.
