Instructions
To make the Simple Ginger Syrup, coarsely chop the fresh ginger and puree in a food processor. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve; you should have about one ounce of ginger juice. Return the juice to the processor and add superfine sugar and process until well mixed. Strain the syrup into a jar, cover and refrigerate. Will keep about a week.
To make the cocktail, add the tequila, port, lime juice, 1/2 ounce ginger syrup and bitters to a shaker filled with ice.
Shake well and strain into an ice-filled highball glass.
Add club soda to the glass and stir. Skewer the candied ginger pieces on a pick.
Garnish the drink with the ginger and lime wheel and serve.
