Ginger Spice Cocktail
Ingredients
1 bottle of vodka
1.5 inch root ginger, peeled and grated
1 red chilli, finely sliced
Ice cubes
Ginger beer (We like the Old Jamaican low calorie version)
Add the grated ginger and sliced chilli to the vodka. Allow to stand for a minimum of 3 days giving it a good shake at least once per day.
To serve, put lots of ice in a long glass, add a very generous Christmassy measure of the vodka and top up with the ginger beer.
The ginger is full of antioxidants, and there are two natural antibiotics found in ginger, as well as anti inflamatory agents, so it not only helps eliminate congestion, but also kills cold viruses and stimulates circulation.
The red chilli is packed with vitamins A, C, E and helps clear congestion. Also known to aid weight loss - just what we need at Christmas!!
