What to do on a really hot evening in the city? Make nice cocktails and drink them on the balcony while the sun goes down and the city lights come out! I'm not normally an alcohol drinker but decided that I wanted a drink and this was what we created.
There were some frozen strawberries in the freezer and some Limoncello. Good place to start, very nice contrasting flavours! Into the blender went 6 small ice cubes, 6 or 7 strawberries, 1/4 cup fresh raspberries, a shot of Limoncello, 1/2 a shot of vodka and the juice of 1/2 a lime. Blend, lots of noise! You now have a beautifully bright and fresh mix which needs diluting somehow. In the fridge I found some lemon Perrier, perfect, though regular soda would work just as well.
In a glass put a few ice cubes, some Perrier and then the berry/booze mix. I think if there had been some mint around I would have used some to decorate or muddle but it was very good as it was! There was a perfect combination of sweet and sour making it very refreshing! Word of warning, this is very easy to drink, and watch the seeds at the bottom!
