From the bartender’s corner – Lemon Drop Martini
In deference to Monica Riskay’s wishes, today’s featured drink is based on vodka.
It is vodka, triple sec, lemon juice and finely granulated sugar. Usually served in a martini glass rimmed with sugar. And garnished with a lemon peel.
I took the short cut today and added lemon drop martini mix instead 🙂
The taste came out great. But the one that Alexis makes at Milton’s has a distinct taste that both Sharmila and I like. Need to find out from her what proportions she uses… Meanwhile, Cheers!!

From the bartender’s corner … Cucumber Gin and Tonic
After meeting Buck this evening, remembered all my MBA friends and felt great that I got a chance to have them as my friends.
Decided to relax with a cooked up drink… Took the traditional gin and tonic and improvised it. First, used Tito’s handmade gin from Texas and then Fever Tree tonic water from India. A little splash of sparkling water, a couple of dashes of Angostura bitters and a very thin slice of cucumber gently slid down the slide the glass (not to mess the gin too quickly)…. and there it was… a very refreshing gin and tonic. Can’t wait for summer!!!
Or the memories of sweltering Ahmedabad summer days….

From the bartender’s corner – Purple Rain
Here is a suitable drink for a rainy and wet day – Purple Rain.
Gin, cranberry juice, sweet and sour, sparkling water and blue curaçao.
I understand this can be served in a martini glass or a highball glass. Was not in a mood to waste too much drink (alone at home today), so made it in a martini glass…
