Summer is just around the bend and to get summer '09 started, I'll share with you a recipe for a refreshing summer cocktail. This drink from one of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn, Frankie's 457. It's pretty much liquid summer:
Ingredients:
1-2 shots of Absolut Citron, or another citrus vodka of your choice
handful of mint leaves
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of water
Juice of one lime
Juice of one lemon
1/4 cup of club soda
Recipe:
- Make the simple syrup ahead of time: in a small saucepan, bring the sugar, water and mint leaves to a boil, stir until sugar is dissolved, cook for another 5 minutes. Refridgerate overnight.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, lemon juice, lime juice and 1/4 cup of simple syrup. Shake with ice
- Pour mixture into a tall glass with ice
- Top up with the club soda
