It's one of the late ninety's/early noughties fruit and herb vodka based drinks erroneously labelled 'martini'. If you compare the two ingredient lists( yours and the rather rude reply you received!) you will notice that they differ quite considerably. The second posting I would assume is is an overly sweet concoction (candied ginger maceration, and vanilla syrup=overkill!) that will lack the "zing" and freshness of taste of the first. If I was to hazard a guess, the best method for an instant recreation of the cocktail you enjoyed, would be to muddle a knob of peeled fresh ginger with a stalk of lemon grass chopped into four and bashed. Add a little stock syrup, the cointreau/triple sec, a good healthy slug of absolute citron, juice of a lemon and half a lime, stir with ice, strain and decorate with a slice of preserved ginger speared with a lemon grass quill. Next time, go watch the barman make it, engage him in some conversation, everybody will talk about their job, especially when you, the customer, offers praise. I would also suggest that the approximate measurements could be, 1 part Vodka, 1/2 part Cointreau/triple sec, 1/2 part stock syrup, apiece of fresh ginger the size of the first knuckle of your thumb peeled, and a stick of fresh lemon grass,plus the quantities of juice already given. Enjoy. The fun of cocktails is experimenting with proportions and tastes.
