Really want to try this Ginger Martini
heard about it on NPR Sunday edition

Ginger Candied Martini
by Jessica Riley, Chicago, IL
I am a bartender at a sushi bar here in Chicago called Mizu. I've been informed by a few customers that I should submit my ginger martini recipe for your ginger contest, because it's simply amazing.
We use:
1 ounce fresh-squeezed ginger juice
1 ounce triple sec
3 ounces Grey Goose vodka
1 ounce pineapple juice
1 ounce Rose's lime juice
Please drink responsibly
