Vermouth Cassis

This summery cocktail is light, refreshing and bubbly. Next time we make this, it may be worth a try to use lemonade, fizzy or still, rather then the suggested soda water.

Sea Fizz Cocktail

On one of the most snowy days, we tried this light frothy cocktail. A fresh summertime drink that will have you floating along regardless what the temperature may be outside. According to some, this cocktail was founded in 1946 in the Stork Club Bar Book by Lucius Beebe.

makes 1 cocktail

1 1/2 oz Absinthe

1/2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 oz simple syrup

1 egg white

Fill a cocktail shaker half way with ice cubes. Add the absinthe, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white. Shake the cob webs out (which means shake well).

Fill a highball glass halfway full with ice cubes. Strain the sea into the glass.

Fill the glass almost to the top with the chilled club soda, and stir well.

Stay warm and have a great weekend everyone! - JD
