Drinks of the week: Gimlet and Algebra
Thursday, 25 March 2004 08:11 PM
Two drinks for this week, one for each of my sisters....
For Laura, whose birthday is today, a classic drink to which she introduced me years ago in San Francisco.
GIMLET
1 part Rose's lime juice
5 parts gin
Fil shaker two-thirds full with ice. Put in lime juice, then gin. Stir or shake well. Strain into cocktail glass.
(Recipe from The Official Harvard Student Agencies Bartending Course. Did I mention that I'm a graduate of the Harvard Bartending School? It's true.)
The second is for my sister Katy, who is currently starring in Proof at the Butler Little Theatre as a math genius and/or insane person.
ALGEBRA
Creator: N/A
Ingredients:
1 oz. Light Rum
0.5 oz. Triple Sec
2 tsp. Lemon Juice
Glassware: Cocktail Glass
Directions:
Fill a shaker half full with ice cubes. Pour all ingredients into shaker and shake well. Strain drink into a Cocktail glass and serve.
(From Happy Hours: Drink Recipes.)
Both drinks are delightfully citrus-tangy and sweet, and deceptively strong. Enjoy, and make sure you've lined up someone to give you a ride home.
