Method

Put the lemongrass, mint leaves and preserved ginger in a mortar and pestle, mini food processor or even a strong sandwich bag and bash or whiz to a rough paste. (This can be done well ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator until needed.) Transfer to a cocktail shaker half filled with ice, then add the ginger syrup, vodka and lime juice. Shake a good 30 seconds.
