Porch Rocker cocktail

Recipe from the Pimento Tea Room in Holly Springs, NC.

Make ginger syrup by slicing a piece of ginger about the size of your thumb into thin pieces and steep it in a cup of sugar and a cup of water. Let it come to a boil and then turn off the heat and leave it alone until it’s cool enough to transfer to a clean container. Store in the fridge.

In an iced tea glass, combine

1 oz bourbon

0.5 oz ginger syrup

Give it a good stir. Fill the glass with ice. Top with tea.
