Take a spin with the "Funky Ride"

2 cocktails: 8 cl gin, 2 cl limoncello, 10 cl San Bitter, ice.

It doesn't get much simpler. This cocktail is as clean and as dirty as the mid-1990s bars and watering holes which my gorgeous wife and I were roaming during our one-year stint in the Big Apple.

The color of this drink is also a reminder of the plush interior of our vintage Chevy Malibu. A memorable gas guzzler which eventually fell victim to the supreme driving skills of a New York cabbie. This one is for you honey and for all dear friends found in America.

San Bitter used in this brew is a close cousin to the orange-coloured, bitter-sweet Crodino, another one of my favourite non-alcoholic cocktail additives. Fortunately, San Bitter can be purchased on both sides of the Atlantic, from Amazon or your specialty liquor store.

Mix ingredients with ice, stir and enjoy.

BTW: This blog entry in no way means to endorse drinking and driving. You shouldn't even be drinking and de-riving, in the mathematical sense. You know, like all the sudden 1 plus 1 equals 3.

Zum Wohl, cheers.
