The big easter holiday is almost over and I still haven’t got ONE SINGLE COCKTAIL! OUTRAGEOUS! But it’s not too late to save the day. Before I left for the long holiday I sent a tweet that went something like this: “4 days off! Awesome! Cocktail time! woot! “. I was excited. I got a reply that said: “April Rain or Spring Fever?”. I decided that before choosing which drink I would do, I should let the weather decide, praying for sweet sweet sun! Off course, it was grey almost all week-end. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have a good cocktail. If it’s sunny next week end, I’ll have the spring fever :).
The April Rain turned out to be pretty good. Like you will see, it’s very similar to a vodka martini but with a strong lime taste. It is perfect if you like a strong tart taste during a rainy day. Here’s the recipe:
April Rain
- 2 parts Vodka
- 1/2 part Lime Juice
- 1/2 part Dry Vermouth
Very simple cocktail with ingredients that you have 99.9% chance to have home. Pour the vodka, lime juice and dry vermouth in a shaker filled with ice. Shake until cold and serve in a chilled cocktail glass.
Enjoy!
