To make the ginger syrup: Stir together 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved. Once the mixture boils, add 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger; lower heat to low and continue cooking until a syrupy consistency is achieved, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 30 minutes. Strain through a wire-mesh sieve double-lined with damp cheese cloth into an airtight container, discarding solids. This recipe makes more than you need for one cocktail. The syrup may be stored covered in a cool, dark place for up to 1 month.
