Notes
I use a microplane to grate my ginger into almost a pulp; alternately, use the finest holes on a box grater (the ones that look like x's with holes in the center), or mince the ginger very finely.Except for the ginger, the ounce measurements are by volume here, the way real bartenders do it.Nutritional values are based on one of two cocktails
