Cocktail O’Clock: Signs of Spring
After a long winter, it is high time we get ourselves into spring drinking season. I don’t know about you, but by my calendar it is just about time to start thinking about sitting outside with an icy, fruity beverage. Yes, I know it is still snowing outside. No, I don’t care. This cocktail o’clock special comes from the Renaissance Montreal hotel — where I am certain it is still snowing, so if they’re already thinkin’ about spring drinkin’ you can too.
The East Cocktail
· 1.5 oz. Hennessy V.S.
· 1.5 oz. Sake
· 1 oz. Lime juice
· 1 oz. Lemongrass syrup
· 1 oz. Pomegranate juice
· 0.5 oz. Egg white
Combine all ingredients and shake vigorously. Filter the drink with a cocktail strainer into an Old Fashioned glass, already filled with ice.
