My wife told me that she wanted to make a refreshing summer cocktail. I asked what was in it and when she said "vodka" I was in.
I tried it and my first thought was that it tasted like the hand grenades I had in NO.

It's about nothing like this recipe. A large (pitcher size) packet of generic Crystal Light, about a cup of vodka. ice, a few forks of pickled ginger and about a cup of water in the blender. Probably not as strong as the grenades I had, but the taste was spot on. Picked ginger.

Not too bad, but a bit one dimensional. To my palate, it could do with some tartness; lime or lemon. I might tinker a bit with this later on.

Mid-week drink in the middle of lock down 2020. Not for me if I’m honest. Boozy, yes but a poor mans Long Island Iced Tea!

Agreed. Not a great cocktail but it's all about the serve.
