the cocktail recipe


for those who missed the most important part of the talk i gave at Surface Design
here it is

the recipe for my new cocktail - invented out of necessity when the tonic tide was ebbing after store hours -
and for which i still have to dream up an appropriate name -
more on that later

in a chilled glass
slosh a bit of Bombay gin
add
a healthy splash of Concord Grape Juice [sugar free, of course]
squeeze in a wedge of fresh lime
and then drop the squozed bit into the glass as well
throw in a few rocks
top up with tonic [Schweppes for preference]
muddle a bit
and
enjoy

feel free to contribute to naming suggestions...

  6. I think that for us, cormorants on the rocks is a good one. I will try and find some Concord grapes and bring them to Pennsylvania in September.

  7. A simple Bombay Concorde might work. Or maybe seeing as Bombay is in India and Concorde is a plane perhaps an Air India?
