Scotch with ginger, lemon makes cocktail with moxie

This tangy recipe is from the Tasting Kitchen in Venice, Calif. It’s an off-the-menu scotch drink with ginger and lemon.

Braveheart/Lethal Weapon

• 2 ounces blended scotch
• 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
• 3/4 ounce ginger juice (see note)
• 1/4 ounce cocktail honey (3 parts honey, 1 part hot water)
• 2 dashes bitters, preferably Angostura

Combine the scotch, lemon juice, ginger juice, cocktail honey and bitters in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain and serve over ice in a bucket glass. Note: Fresh ginger juice is a ratio of 2 parts juiced ginger to 1 part simple syrup (2 parts sugar to 1 part water). Makes 1 cocktail.
