I found this great information Re: Ginger Root in Good Housekeeping (August 2009). They found that Ginger root helped ease menstrual cramps just as well as over the counter drugs… (Other than vicodin). So what I plan to do is have a Ginger Lime Martini and that should kill two birds with one stone..lol
Ginger-Lime Martini
1 cup Ginger, fresh
¾ cup Sugar
1 ½ cup water
2 cups vodka
¼ cups lime juice
2 Limes cut into wedges
Fresh mint for garnish
Preparation
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain Mixture through a sieve into a bowl; discard solids, Chill ginger syrup 1 hour or until very cold.
2. Fill a martini shaker with ice. Add ¼ cup chilled ginger syrup, ½ cup chilled vodka, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Shake well; strain into 2 martini glasses. Repeat procedure with remaining ginger syrup, vodka, and lime juice. Garnish with lime wedges and mint leaves, if desired.
8 servings (serving size: 1 martini)
