ROCK N’ ROLL COCKTAIL
1/2
glass lemonade
A
dash of blackcurrant liqueur
1
shot of vodka
It
was a big weekend for Cleveland, Ohio, home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Every three years, the New York City big wigs let us hold the yearly induction ceremony
in Cleveland. This was one of those years and last night the 27th
Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions were held at Public Auditorium in
downtown Cleveland. Green Day played, John Mellencamp presented, Bette Midler
got all emotional, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers were inducted by Chris Rock,
all in front of a crowd of about 7,000. Sadly, I was not one of them.
Though I couldn’t go
to the Rock Hall Inductions, I could induct a new cocktail into my life. I found
one online at cocktailmaking.com
called the ROCK N’ ROLL COCKTAIL. Making it was as easy as a Donovan tune, one
of this year’s inductees. I just filled a glass with ice, added a shot of
vodka, a dash of blackcurrant liqueur, and filled the rest of the glass up
with lemonade
I loved the refreshing, easy-drinking taste and make of the ROCK N’ ROLL COCKTAIL. But it
was a soft rock cocktail, with a low and slow beat. It didn’t make me think of
hard rocking music. That kind of cocktail would be made with Jack Daniels or Wild
Turkey — something you can spit out onto the crowd. No, the ROCK N’ ROLL COCKTAIL was a
mellow lemonade and vodka, amped up with a shot of blackcurrant flavor. It was
a very worthy addition to the classic lemonade and vodka cocktail, and it made
me wonder what else I could add to that classic cocktail combo that I know and
love so well. Something to ponder these next three years, along with how to get
into that next Cleveland Induction Ceremony.
