Beefeater with Coke

Uncle introduced us to Beefeater Gin ($16) after we purchased it for him from the duty-free shop at the Singapore Changi Airport. I thus started reading up on the many easy & interesting Cocktail recipes on-line.

From The Nibble, Gin started out as a Medicine! It was invented in The Netherlands in the 17th century, originally intended to treat Kidney ailments.

Most had Rum with Coke. But let's make do with Gin :)

In an ice filled glass tumbler add a shot of Gin and squeeze in almost an equal amount of fresh Lime juice, top up with well-chilled Coke.

A bizarre but tasty combination of a Gin and Coke! Refreshing and different!

Be careful, the Beefeater had an Alcohol content of 47%, go easy on the portion of the Gin and your drink would taste much better without that strong aeration of Alcohol.

Cheers! To these warm Summer nights...
