Equipment
- 1 cocktail shaker
Ingredients
- 1 ounce gin or vodka
- 1 ounce St. Germain liqueur
- ½ inch piece fresh ginger cut into 3 slices
- 1 inch piece fresh lemon zest
- 2-3 ounces ginger beer or ginger ale

- 1 cucumber Christmas tree optional garnish
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add the gin, St. Germain, sliced fresh ginger, and the piece of lemon zest into the shaker.

- Gently top off the cocktail with ginger beer or ginger ale.
- Add a lemon twist or, for a festive touch, a cucumber Christmas tree, and enjoy!
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Shake for at least a minute to release the flavor from the fresh ginger and the lemon zest.
- Gin and St. Germain are a perfect combination, but vodka will taste good in this easy holiday cocktail, too.
- Always use plenty of ice in the shaker and the glass to keep it refreshingly cold.
