Linda cocktail

With a name like Linda, you might expect a cocktail to be sweet. In this case you would be right.

This drink blends gin and lemon juice with sweet notes of banana and blackcurrant. The overall flavor is berry with hints of citrus and banana. I consider this one sweet enough to be a dessert drink, but it’s also nice for sipping anytime you’re in the mood for something that’s sweet yet slightly refreshing.

Recipe

• 1 ounce gin
• 1 ounce creme de banane
• 1 ounce creme de cassis
• 1 ounce lemon juice

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour in all ingredients. Shake until chilled and strain martini glass.
