Being home, I celebrated tonight with friends over an evening of cocktails and frivolity. I rather enjoy making cocktails, and I prefer to do this without any forethought or planning. I just like to go where the whim takes me. Tonight, I invented Nuts at the Back of the Throat, named so as when you sip and swallow, there is a warm, nutty overtone that hits you at the back of the throat, even though no nuts are present in the ingredients. A mysterious delight!
It goes like this…
Ingredients
- one part vanilla vodka
- splash Midori
- one part pear juice
- top with dry ginger ale
