My friend introduced me to this back in the spring whilst I was visiting her in North Wales, she's a really talented artist and this is her tipple of choice. I completely fell in love with it and it's now also become my go-to inspiration drink when something just isn't working. It fixes everything, either the inspiration comes or I make another one and no longer care as I'm immersed in a smoky Parisian bar.
Don't be put off by the Pernod, I also looked at the bottle with disdain when I spotted it but my god it's wonderful! Gone are the days of Pernod and blackcurrant, it's due for a comeback and I'm leading the charge!
You'll need:
- 25ml Pernod
- 75ml chilled cloudy apple juice
- 50ml chilled tonic water
- squeeze of lemon
- thin slice of lemon to garnish
Make it!
Mix everything together (I use a mug) then pour into a coupe glass and garnish with your lemon.
That glass! Quite the most beautiful glass ever to contain a cocktail.
ReplyDeleteA fine carboot find indeed, a pair of them for just £1, god I love car boot sales!
ReplyDeleteThat coupe is amazing! Question: what is cloudy apple juice? Will regular apple juice work?
ReplyDeleteIt's a very English thing, I think. You could use normal apple juice, but if you can find some fresh you'll get a better colour.
DeleteCan these ingredients be found in the states?
ReplyDeleteI think so, although you might not have cloudy apple juice (in which case, as above, just substitute for normal apple juice). Pernod is just a brand of the French drink pastis, so if you can find that (and there's no reason why you shouldn't) then you're sorted.
