Glitter

• Ginger sugar*
• 1 bottle chilled Prosecco or dry sparkling wine
• 1 oz ginger syrup*

(1) Fill a ginger sugar–rimmed martini glass to ½ inch shy of the top with chilled Prosecco or sparkling wine.
(2) Finish with 1 oz of the ginger syrup.

?*Ginger sugar for rim: In a food processor, pulse together 6 cut-up, large pieces of candied ginger with ¼ cup granulated sugar. Do not overmix; doing so will cause the sugar to heat up and clump. You want to achieve an even, fine-grain texture. Place in a shallow bowl or rimmed plate large enough to accommodate the rim of your martini glass (or preferably a vintage coupe-shaped champagne glass). Set aside in a dry space.

**Ginger syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. Stir and heat until sugar is fully dissolved. Use a cheese grater to mince fresh ginger root until you have about ¼ cup of juice and ginger pulp. Combine the pulp and the simple syrup and let sit for 30 minutes to an hour in the refrigerator. Then pour through a sieve to remove the pulp.
