Instructions
In a mixing tin muddle 2 pieces of fresh ginger. Express herbs - this will be a fun part - and put them into the tin. Add 2 oz. of your favorite spirit, lime juice, agave, cranberry juice and your favorite bitters.
Add ice into the tin and shake like a rock star! In a glass add fresh ice and fill it 30-40% with ginger beer. This is called a Shao Lin technique and helps create a dynamic balance in your libation. Now add your mixed cocktail over the top.
