Drako Thunder Collins
A cocktail that combines freshness and character with an electrifying spark of rosemary and ginger. Perfect for those looking for a balanced flavour between citrus, sweet and slightly herbal.
Ingredients:
- 45 ml by Vodka Drako
- 15 ml of natural syrup (you can prepare it by mixing equal parts of water and sugar and heating until completely dissolved)
- 15 ml fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
- Ginger ale, enough to complete
- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary to decorate
Preparation:
-
Prepare the ingredients:
Make sure the lemon juice is freshly squeezed and the natural syrup is chilled to keep the cocktail nice and fresh. -
Mix the base flavors:
In a cocktail shaker, add the Drako Vodka, simple syrup and lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds to chill and combine the flavors. -
Serve with style:
Strain the mixture directly into a tall Collins glass filled with fresh ice. -
The effervescent touch:
Top off the glass with ginger ale, pouring gently to maintain fizz. -
Decorate and flavor:
Place a sprig of fresh rosemary inside the glass. To intensify the aroma, you can briefly light the tips of the rosemary with a lighter and blow on them before placing it in the drink. This trick releases the essential oils of the rosemary, providing a unique fragrance.
Mixologist Tip:
- Experiment with Ginger Ale Variations : A spicier one will enhance the ginger flavor, while a milder one will keep the cocktail light and fresh.
- If you prefer a more herbal flavor, lightly crush the rosemary before adding it as a garnish.
Ideal to enjoy on a warm afternoon or as a refreshing prelude to a night of cocktails.
