Recipe Description
Original recipes are fun to create, to imbibe and to share, but when I find a great cocktail recipe, I like to post it, not only to share, but for my own reference. I love having simple, great recipes always handy (ie, on my phone) for ideas, shopping lists and instructions. Hope this comes in handy for you too!
This drink is a go-to for me especially before a meal with an eastern flare. It originally appeared in shake, a great cocktail “cookbook” – perfect for a gift (which is how I got mine!)
