4 1/2 oz Absolut Citron
2 1/4 oz simple syrup
3 limes, cut into eighths
Muddle limes in syrup; add vodka and stir. Pour into two chilled glasses rimmed with sugar. Add crushed ice and a lime twist.
Absolut emailed a Caipiroska recipe to me; I made some minor alterations to the ingredients, and changed the name (in honor of my British husband).
Maybe, just maybe, I need to increase the quantities (while retaining the ratios). This drink disappears so quickly, and I'm so sad when it's gone! The recipe listed above might actually be better as one drink instead of two...
- Nose: limes!
- Taste: sweet and limey and citrusy and very, very drinkable
- Looks: like grassy hills in early spring as the snow melts away
- Goes with: some sort of spicy chips, and a hot sunny afternoon
- Rating: 7.5 out of 10. Not quite as amazing as the Raspberri Martini, but still very, very nice!
Verdict: Summery and refreshing, and you'll probably never get scurvy
