A Summer Cocktail in Winter

Fall and winter are frequently times of heavy food, deep red wine, and rich desserts.  But, every once in awhile it's nice to have a light meal and summer-like cocktail.  One such combination is Thai Sweet and Sour Shrimp and a "Florida" gin-based cocktail.  The two together evoke the feel of summer on the beach with waves splashing on the shore and sun-drenched fruit in each and every sip and bite.  Here is the recipe for the cocktail from Mr. Boston's.

Florida Cocktail

Ingredients
  • 1/2 ounce Gin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Kirschwasser
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Triple Sec
  • 1 ounce Orange Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
Preparation

Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Go ahead, have two..'tis the season for indulgence after all.
