Heart of Gold (working title)

I was reading about Lillet Blanc, the delicious French vermouth aperitif, on the official website and I came across something that said it was served on the rocks with fresh ginger in Japan. This got my creative juices flowing, so to speak, and I decided to try to mix a cocktail with my home-infused ginger vodka and lillet blanc. This is the result, which may be prone to tweaking in the future:

  • 2 measures Lillet Blanc
  • 1 measure ginger-infused vodka
  • Splash lemon juice
Shake with ice, strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon twist.

(The working title, "heart of gold", comes from the bright golden color of all the ingredients. And, of course, Douglas Adams's "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.")
