Cocktail Mondays: Same drink, different liquor


You don't really expect me to come up with a different drink EVERY Monday, do you? Today I came home and really needed a martini. My usual recipe is here. But instead of vodka, I've been drinking them with Hendrick's gin lately. I picked up this cute little bottle on a whim, and I must say I've been very impressed. I've stuck with my usual olives rather than the cucumber slice they suggest, but the gin is indeed somewhat cucumbery and I am sure it would taste great that way. (Picture blatantly stolen from their website.)

Cocktail Mondays: What the Hell

I decided to try this drink because of its name, and it was pretty good.

What the Hell
1 oz gin
1 oz apricot brandy
1 oz dry vermouth
dash lime juice

Stir with ice, strain into chilled glass and garnish with lemon twist.
