The Starlight Negroni (in batch cocktail form or single serving) is the perfect companion for stargazing and winter evenings with friends or family. A harmonious blend of classic Negroni flavors with a warming kick of ginger liqueur, this cocktail will leave you feeling relaxed and content. The candied ginger garnish adds a touch of sweetness and spice, and a delightful textural element. As you sip on this comforting beverage, let your imagination wander and enjoy the tranquility of the season and the unique, often monochromatic beauty of wintertime.
How to Make Candied Ginger
To make candied ginger, start by peeling and slicing fresh ginger into thin rounds. Combine the sliced ginger with a simple syrup made from equal parts sugar and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the ginger is tender and the syrup has thickened. Remove the ginger from the syrup and allow it to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, toss the ginger in a mixture of sugar and a small amount of cornstarch to coat before letting these little delights air dry.
