Ginger Ante, Dosa

Dosa is my favorite Indian restaurant in San Francisco with two locations (Fillmore and Mission districts). I just love the South Indian cuisine and the Spice Route Cocktails. The Ginger Ante is a  refreshing cocktail that awakens your senses from the zing from the ginger infusion and ginger ale to the aroma from the fresh sprig of rosemary garnish. You enjoy each sip and don't want it to end. That's when you order a second and perhaps a third. It's that good!

I wonder what's in the gingery jaggery nectar that helps to make this an out of this world cocktail. I just love when I drink an delicious cocktail and get to research some new ingredients. What's a jaggery? It's similar to a simple syrup, but instead uses sugar from sugarcane, palm sap and dates sap. It's popular in the cuisine in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Carribean.
