Rhubarb Cranberry Twist


The search for the perfect summer beverage is under way, even though the cottage is not yet open.

Today's offering: Seagram's Lime Twisted Gin (available everywhere and a bargain at $9.99), Dry Rhubarb Soda (available at Cravings Gourmet Popcorn in Old Town, Lansing), a generous splash of Ocean Spray Cranberry juice, and a lemon wedge.

Test results: A dry, lightly fruity yet sophisticated taste. If you like gin & tonic, you'll like this--even if you usually drink vodka and aren't a fan of gin. I'm sure it would be equally delightful with a lime wedge, and/or a splash of Rose's Lime Juice. Had the same drink sans cranberry juice yesterday, and judged it dee-lightful.

OMG what about a basil leaf!!!! That's gonna happen.

  1. Reminds me of the days when I used to come home from work and experiment with cocktails for your Mother to try and render a judgement.

  2. Apparently it's in my DNA to experiment with cocktails.
