A Sour Metaxa
So, yesterday was the 28th of October which is known in Greek as Όχι Day. I also handed in 300 and something pages of like 6 months work.
I wanted to drink something, so I looked what I had. Then I found some Metaxa brandy. I was informed of the Greek holiday, and decided to make a drink.
Όχι Day celebrates the day when the Greek prime minister during WW2, Metaxa, said "No" to the Axis powers. (It's a tad more complicated than that, but yeah, Greece said "Fuck you" and we were awesome)
Anyway, so I decided to go with what I knew. If something is very alcoholic and burns, add lemon and lime.
So yeah.
100 ml Metaxa brandy
2 lemons worth of juice
1 limes worth of juice
50 ml of lime cordial (maybe?)
Shake it over ice. The colder the better.
Add it to lemonade to the strength you want it at.
A potential innovation would be to add mint.
NEXT TIME!
Stay tuned as I attempt lemon oil today!
SHWAH!
