#279 Cocktail: Tea Tini

    As you can already see from the name of the cocktail, the drink is a twist on the classic martini. A more manageable one for the people who can't tolerate a strong drink.
    The cocktail is adapted from a recipe from the Peninsula Grill in Charleston, North Carolina

1 3/4 ounce vodka
1 ounce sweet iced tea
1/4 ounce fresh lemon juice

#278 Cocktail: Tart Gin Cooler

     Another brilliant cocktail created by Gaz Regan and his wife, Mardee. Such a good and fresh taste for a hot summer day like the ones we have right now in Europe.
    It's a very simple and quick drink to make. It came after a little experimentation with tonic water which when combined with lemon results in bitter lemon, a well known drink in Great Britain. But Gaz replaced the lemon with grapefruit juice and created this wonderful drink

2 ounces gin
2 ounces grapefruit juice
2 ounces tonic water
Peychaud's bitters to taste
