Ingredients

40 ml ginger syrup (see below)
100 ml Ketel One vodka
50 ml lime juice
1 tsp coriander seeds, lightly toasted
10 cilantro leaves

Ginger Syrup

65 g (3-in/8 cm) piece of ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
150 g superfine sugar

Instructions

When ready to serve, place 1¼ oz/ 40 ml of ginger syrup in a cocktail shaker, along with all the remaining ingredients and plenty of cubed ice. Shake hard for about 20 seconds, then double-strain (through a Hawthorne strainer and into a fine-mesh sieve) into two pre-chilled martini glasses. Serve at once.

For the syrup:

To make the ginger syrup, place the ginger and sugar in a blender with ¾ cup/200 ml of water. Blitz for about 45 seconds, until fully combined: you will make about 1¼ cups/300 ml of syrup, which can be kept in the fridge, or frozen, for future use.
