You can also rub it over one of those japanese ginger graters (the ones that look like a prickly board) and then squeeze that pulp through a cloth as well (a brand new, well washed chux cloth or similar fills in for cheesecloth very well)

Of course. Chux cloth. I'll just run out to my local, umm, chux monger and get some.

Chux cloth seems like something you would catch barf with.

You still have those? I haven't seen those around since I was about 10! Cool!

Okay, I wanted to make sure the experiment worked before saying anything.

While in San Francisco, being lame Top Chef fan geeks, we had dinner at Hubert Keller's Fleur de Lys, a VERY nice restaurant. We had an outstanding meal.

Being there with 2 preggies who couldn't enjoy the wine pairings, our waiter offered to have the bar make them a non alcoholic drink. What he brought was really really good. Muddled basil, agave, cucumber juice, pineapple juice. He also mentioned that when making it with booze they use Hendick's gin (a slightly cucumbery gin) and vodka.

So I set about trying to reproduce the non-alky version and make a good alky version. And I must say I did a pretty good job!
