Little mistake in yesterday's blog, will fix that in a second, but while I'm here, here are two more great summer drinks. The first is a Salty Chihuahua, similar to a Greyhound or a Salty Dog.
Salty Chihuahua
1. Wet the rims of 4 glasses and coat with coarse salt (if desired)
2. Fill the glasses with ice.
3. Pour 1 ounce tequila and 1/2 ounce orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau, into each.
4. Top each with 3/4 cup grapefruit juice and stir. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit.
the second is a French 75. Imagine yourself at a sidewalk cafe in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, drinking and watching the pretty French girls in their summer clothes.
French 75
(the drink actually celebrates a decorated WWI French flying ace)
1 1/2 ounces of gin
2 teaspoons of superfine sugar
1 1/2 ounces of lemon juice
4 ounces of chilled champagne
1 orange slice
1 maraschino cherry
In a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine gin, sugar and lemon juice. Shake well. Pour into a Collins glass and top with the champagne. Stir well and garnish with orange slice and the cherry.
Enjoy, and 'til next time, SEE YA!
