Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

Jolly old St. Patrick

I discovered a tasty cocktail a few nights ago, and I thought I'd share it with you! It's a little twist on the classic gimlet, and I call it the Gin Giant. And yes, this would be fabulous on St. Patrick's Day. Or any day you've bought 5 pounds of limes at Costco and are searching for ways to use them up. 2 parts fresh squeezed lime juice 4 parts gin 1 part orange brandy (e.g., Gran Gala) 1 part simple syrup Shake with ice until very cold and strain into sugar-rimmed martini glasses. I actually have some green-tinted sugar that looks especially pretty with this drink.
