CITRUS DROP

CITRUS DROP

Smirnoff Citrus Vodka

St. Germaine
Sour Mix
Muddled lemons, limes and oranges

Neil Diamond is a buoyant 71 year old with great talent for songwriting and a classic voice that sounds as good as it did in the 60s. As I found out tonight, he also puts on a good show. From my college theme song — “Love on the Rocks” — to a ballad version of “I’m Believer” and an extended sing-along version of “Sweet Carolina,” it was a show I would dare you not to enjoy.

I also dare you to enjoy a CITRUS DROP, the cocktail I fully enjoyed while dining with my Mom at Pickwick & Frolics in downtown Cleveland before the show. To make it, the bartender muddled lemons, limes and oranges, then put them into a cocktail shaker. He added equal parts citrus vodka and St. Germaine, a small amount of sour mix and shook it all up. He then strained it into a glass and garnished with lemon.

It was a shame to not have the fruit in my glass of CITRUS DROP, but I could definitely taste their presence in the cocktail. Like Neil, the cocktail was slow to love at first, but the excitement quickly built and I was soon in love. The CITRUS DROP is worth the effort or least worth its price at a restaurant. As sweet as it is sour, and with a delicate taste that will blow you away, it will have you saying “So good! So good! So good!”
