Ingredients

Spiced Ginger Syrup
8 ounces ginger, sliced into thin coins (no need to peel unless you'd like to)
4 cups water
2 cups sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon whole cloves
0.5 tablespoons allspice berries
Ginger Devil Cocktail
1.5 ounces Roca Patron Silver tequila
0.5 ounces spiced ginger syrup
0.75 ounces lime juice
1 splash creme de cassis
2 to 3 ounces spicy ginger beer, to top

Directions

1

Make the spiced ginger syrup. Combine the ginger coins, water, sugar, salt, and spices in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then turn it down to simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. Then, remove from the heat and let cool completely. Pour it through a fine-mesh strainer into a container and keep in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
2

Make the cocktail. Mix the tequila, ginger syrup, creme de cassis, and lime juice in an ice-filled shaker and shake for about 10 seconds. Strain over ice in a tall collins glass and top with the ginger beer. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge and serve.
