I feel like I had an allucination when I did this drink, or maybe I simply spiked my own drink… Something like that…. down that way…. pheraps……

 

IDEA

The idea is to make a spiked (in a healhy version) drink with something actually good for the body with a pill of Vitamin C, and a cocktail made in a bottle and covered with a newspaper, to resemble the hiding of the bottles when drunk in the street…

 

INGREDIENTS

50 ml of strawberry puree

30 ml Punt e Mes (red vermouth)

40 ml Gentleman Jack Bourbon

5 ml Absinthe  70%

1 small bottle ginger beer

1 Vitamin C pill

 

 

 

 

METHOD

Take a small bottle of water, about 300ml, take the label of and washed it properly in and out, once dried, stored in the freezer.

Leave the bottle in the freezer and take it out  only when finished to make the drink.

In a shaker combine:

50 ml of strawberry puree

30 ml Punt e Mes (red vermouth)

40 ml Gentleman Jack Bourbon

Shake strong for a good 10 seconds.

Now take out the bottle of the freezer, pour in 1 cl of green absinthe 70% minimum, coat the inside of the bottle and discard the excess.

Strain the shaken drink through a tea strainer the in the bottle, and top up with 100 ml of fiery ginger beer.

Cover the bottle with the newspaper and an elastic band to keep it steady.

Serve on a little tray with a Vitamin C pill (supermarket quality does the job)

 

 

 

Spike your own drink when you fill like it! The orange taste will complement the drink with his tartness.

Spike and Smile!

Enjoy.
