Drowned Out

Without knowing it, I’ve created a new version of this. At a festival, my friends asked me to make up a cocktail with the delightful moniker of ‘Stings When I Pee’
I used less Pernod. It goes like this:
1 part Pernod
1 part vodka
A squish of lime or a little elderflower cordial
Stir those ingredients
Top with Ginger beer
Add a drop of grenadine to sink to the bottom.
Actually rather nice and now a firm favourite of my daughter’s for when we have cocktail hour :)

This sounds a bit grim. My local favourite bar The Libertine has version that is quite yummy. Vodka, blue curaçao italicus citrus and Vimto - over crushed ice and garnished with a lollipop. Very slurpable. I haven’t quite worked out the measures as yet though!

I want to make a cocktail to celebrate the birthday of Whitney Houston - so I want it to be amped up to create a 'superstar' cocktail - any suggestions for what would work? (As a default I resort to Champagne....)

I am going to take a leaf from the White Lady to Sabot book and add some fizz. I shall call it a Blue Empress! :-)
Will report back....

Thank you! It was actually pretty nice and quite strong ?
