Martini Bianco with Lemonade
History:
We learnt about this drink from an old-time JC friend, Xiaoyan, while in Edinburgh. Sparkling (tap) lemonade is not easily available in Singapore, so we did some adjustments to the recipe - it still turned out fine!
Ingredients:
Martini Bianco - 25ml
Bickford's Lemon Barley Cordial - 50ml
Schweppes Soda Water - 150ml
Ice
Method:
Mix and drink!
*****
Some variants of the above recipe -
Instead of using a cordial-based lemonade, a sparkling lemonade made by Schweppes (not their Bitter Lemon drink) most-accurately reproduces the drink they serve in Scotland.
I've also tried to use Sanpellegrino's Limonata, which was EXCELLENT. It ended up being an exotic, utterly-complex cocktail with various shades of citrus especially in the aftertaste.
