notessnackgirl asked: Hey MIL! I'm going to tour a friend's new apt. for the first time this Saturday night and told her that I would bring a drink before we leave for dinner. I'm thinking either something sparkly or a cocktail. Got any good ideas? Might make for a good and quick Over-21 Mission!
I have a bottle of Yazi Ginger Flavored Vodka in the pantry, lovely holiday gift from your sweet friend Mindy, so decided to get creative recently. This cocktail has the same ingredients as a lemon drop, but I used the Yazi for the vodka. I also had “pink” sugar in the pantry and rimmed the glasses with pink for an extra special sparkle. For a party, consider pre-mixing the recipe and simply pouring as needed.
Yazi Ginger Flavored Lemon Drop
Servings: 10 (3.5 oz.) cocktails
1 1/4 C. fresh squeezed lemon juice
3/4 C. simple syrup
1 1/2 C. Yazi Ginger Flavored Vodka
3 T. Triple Sec (or any orange infused liqueur)
*sugar for rimming glass, lemon twist for garnish
*chilled soda water
Mix lemon juice, simple syrup, vodka and triple sec. Refrigerate until very cold.
To serve: rim martini glass with lemon slice to moisten, dip in sugar, pour 3 oz Yazi Lemon Drop into glass, pour in a splash of soda water and drop in lemon twist
♥ Helpful Hints♥
*simple syrup - measure equal portions granulated sugar & water into a pot and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar dissolves, remove from heat and cool. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
*pink sugar - in a zip lock bag, add 1 C. granulated sugar + few drops of red food coloring. Seal bag and shake and squish until food coloring is evenly distributed
*martini shaker option: pour 3 oz portion of mix into martini shaker, add ice, shake briefly and pour into glass
*Yazi pre-mix can be made 1 day ahead
