Hey 19)

Doesn't really have a name.  Alton Brown made it up during quarantine kitchen . They called it a Hey 19 but I don't know why (yes, I get the Steely Dan reference).

Anyway, grate about three inches of ginger, add a dozen cardamom pods, and one star anise to some water (I did a little more than a cup).  Bring to a simmer, then strain and cool.  Boom, ginger syrup.

Use a juicer to extract the juice of half  a large lemon.












2 oz bourbon (I am partial to Maker's Mark)
1 oz ginger syrup
juice from a half lemon

I shake this up with ice in a cocktail shaker but then just dump the whole thing, ice included, into a glass for drinking.
