The Ginger Figgle is a drink I learned from Top Chef Masters and Food & Wine magazine. It is slightly spicy, slightly sweet, and very refreshing. Why make one when you can make two? Besides, there is simply no way I can slip past Michelle without an extra martini in tow. There are several variations that we've experimented with over the summer. We've added a chunk of watermelon, mixed in a squeeze of lime, a squish of cantaloupe, and a drizzle of cranberry juice. My favorite variation was the splash of watermelon on a warm summer afternoon. The original version is just fine and dandy all on its own. I showed this drink to the bartender at the Avia Hotel in The Woodlands, and for a spell anyway, it was featured on their martini list.
