I’m on Twitter a lot…probably more than I should be and since becoming the Spirits/Cigar writer for EveryJoe.com I’ve been seeking out alcohol companies with Twitter accounts.
A couple of days ago I found Grey Goose and followed them since I’m a big fan of their vodkas. I received a DM [direct message] from them requesting that I confirm my birth date and then they followed me. So, since they showed me some Twitter love, I figured that I’d show them some cocktail love and feature one of their awesome cocktails.
Without further ado…
The Caipiroska
Ingredients:
1 1/4 parts GREY GOOSE® Le Citron Flavored Vodka
1 lime cut into eighths
1 part simple syrup or 1 tsp sugar
club soda or water
Instructions:
In a glass shaker, combine the lime and simple syrup and muddle well. Add the
GREY GOOSE® Le Citron Flavored Vodka and fill with ice. Shake well. Pour ice and
all ingredients into a rocks glass. Top off with more ice if necessary and a splash of
club soda or water. Garnish with lime wedge.
Tips:
This makes a wonderful martini served straight up. Or make unique variations of this
cocktail by using other flavored syrups in place of the simple syrup. For example,
a raspberry syrup might create a summery variation. Alternately, you can add fresh
berries to the limes as you are muddling.
