Recipe Description
Perhaps an acquired taste, the Moonlight is in the same category as the Aviation: both gorgeous colors, not too sweet and with a bit of Creme Yvette or Creme de Violette for an unusual flavor that appeals to the sophisticated (read: fatigued) palette.
Ingredients
-
1.5 ounce Dry Gin
Normally I like Plymouth with something like this & it would do very nicely, but I'm here to tell you, I just made a Moonlight with Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin and it was the best Moonlight I've ever had 🤯...update: I just made one with Nolet's Silver Dry Gin and THAT was the best Moonlight I've ever had! (Maybe I just love Moonlights?) - 0.5 ounce Cointreau
-
0.5 ounce Creme de Violette or Creme Yvette
I prefer Creme de Violette - 0.5 ounce fresh lime juice
Preparation
Put a Nick and Nora or other similar glass in the freezer while you prepare the cocktail. Put all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake thoroughly. Remove the glass from the freezer, strain the cocktail into the glass and toast…à votre santé!
Just brilliant! From the name (Corpse reviver…) to the undead look! LOL!
