The Lemouroudji, with its ginger, lemon, and cayenne pepper, belongs to the Ginger family of cocktails. This refreshing, spicy concoction likely originated in the Caribbean, where ginger and cayenne pepper are common ingredients in traditional drinks.
The Lemouroudji is a spicy, zesty, and refreshing cocktail. The ginger and cayenne pepper deliver a warming heat, balanced by the bright acidity of lemon and the sweetness of sugar. The water provides a clean canvas for the flavors to dance upon, resulting in a complex and invigorating drink that’s both comforting and exciting.
For the Lemouroudji, fresh is best! Use a muddler to crush the ginger and lemon zest for maximum flavor. Don’t overdo the cayenne - a pinch is enough to provide a subtle kick. You can adjust the sugar to your preference, but start with a small amount and taste as you go. Finally, shake vigorously with ice to ensure a perfectly chilled and well-balanced drink.
