Yield: 1 cocktail
Add sugar, water, ginger, and cardamom to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Shut off heat, and set aside for 1 hour. Strain, and refrigerate in an airtight container until thoroughly chilled.
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 1/2 oz simple syrup, gin, grapefruit and lemon juices. Shake vigorously, and pour into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a twist of grapefruit.
