Pictured above, was my attempt at a recipe from Epicurious! It was fun and festive.
1/2 cup chopped ginger
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
bring these to a boil and simmer to a syrup consistancy then cool and set aside.
dip moistened rim of champagne glass into
sugar mixed with
chinese 5 spice
place ginger crystals
and star anise
into bottom of each rimmed glass
add 1 TBSP of previously prepared ginger infused simple syrup
top with champange- I prefer a dry champagne in this cocktail
Enjoy with friends! I find this especially lovely when served in a variety of champagne flutes from hearty cut crystal to paper thin and fragile to lovely antiques from grandma!
