Longing for spring, I've been listening to Django Reinhardt's mellower version of September Song. This sweet, wistful song could easily be paired with a light, citrusy Riesling or Champaign cocktail, but since February, I'm going to recommend something a bit heartier to keep the chill out.
Maiden’s Prayer
1 oz. light rum,
Maiden’s Prayer
1 oz. light rum,
1 oz. gin
1 oz. Tripple Sec (Cointreau's 40% alcohol make it my choice!)
1 oz. Fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Lemon wheel for garnish.
Pour ingredients into an ice filled shaker, swirl, Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with lemon wheel.
Wonderful musician and song! This frigid evening shall find me investigating this combo.
