Crystallized Ginger Orange Juice Cocktail is a spicy sweet concoction that will have you breathing a sigh of comfort. A fruity and refreshing recipe.

You know what I like about cocktails, well, besides that they taste so good? The glassware, ice buckets, swizzle sticks, measurers, muddlers and ALL of the paraphernalia.

There are so many cool and kitschy items that it is hard to resist.  I have a retro collection of goodies from the 50’s and everything I see in the stores today are equally desirable.  So I just keep collecting.

That should be my personal hashtag #justkeepcollecting.

Now is the time to stir up this tasty concoction and relax.

  3. Ginny, this cocktail sounds wonderful! My husband uses crystalized ginger every year for Thanksgiving so we always have a bunch left over, this would be something to try out with the left over 😉

  19. Thanks Cristina! They actually have coconut sugar in almost all of the store now, usually top shelf. P.S. You can use granulated sugar too but cut down a little bit on the sugar because it is sweeter. Coconut sugar gives more of a milder maple flavor.

  20. I’d like to make this right now! Sounds so refreshing and such a beautiful looking cocktail. Love your #hashtag suggestion. 😉 Pinning this to make as a special treat when I find that coconut sugar!

  32. Cocktail making is such an art, and I figure that any art needs all of the requisite paraphernalia! Collecting is a very good thing. The flavors in this cocktail sounds wonderful.

  39. I’m right there with you in collecting glassware and accessories both for nostalgia, and because they’re just so dang cool. I bet the crystallized ginger syrup would be wonderful in so many things–especially this cocktail.
