Ok, that’s not actually what this post is about. But it IS about alcohol and I thought I was being clever with the title.

Today I wanted to share with you a little drink that I’ve been sipping in the warm weather we’ve had the luxury of enjoying recently. Pretend like that sentence makes sense and/or is in the same verb tense.

Enter: The French Gimlet (makes 1 drink)

Recipe originally calls for:

• 2 ounces gin
• 1 ounce elderflower liquor
• 1/2 ounce lime juice (about half a lime)

I vamped:

• 2 1/2 ounces Vivacity Native Gin
• 1 1/2 ounces St. Germain Elderflower liquor
• juice of half a lime
• Strip of lime peel, for garnish
• Serve over ice

Be careful, these go down quickly, and they’re high octane.  Woo!

Happy end of April!

Until next time,

Dretta
