Floradora.

Today I have another drink recipe I'd like to share with all of you! It's called the Floradora and it is quite the splendid beverage. I first heard about this drink on IGN's Gamescoop! podcast and - due to praise of the drink by the fine IGN editors Daemon Hatfield and Greg Miller - I decided to check it out for myself.

I was not disappointed.

Since learning the recipe I have made the drink numerous times for a good number of people. I have only recieved positive feedback thus far so I figured I'd the post the recipe on my blog so to assist anyone else who may be interested in making this delicious concoction.

This is what you'll need.

Ingredients: 

- Gin

- Framboise liqueur 

- Lime juice

- Ginger ale

- Lime wedge

- Ice

Process: 

1) Mix 1.5 oz of gin, 0.5 oz of framboise liqeur, and 0.5 oz of lime juice (I used a mixer and mixed these three ingredients together before pouring it in the glass. Not a necessary step, but if you have a mixer on hand then I recommend it. If not, simply pouring each ingredient into a glass - with ice - is fine. I also, once again, used a shot glass to measure the ounces). 

2) Pour the mix into a glass filled with ice (preferably a highball glass).

3) Top the mixture with ginger ale.

4) Garnish with a lime wedge. 

The end result should look something like this: 

There you have it folks, a fairly simple recipe that makes quite the excellent drink! The Floradora may seem a little girly to some - I mean, look at it - but rest assured that if anyone questions it all you have to do is offer them a sip and they'll understand why you're drinking it. It's light, cool, and refreshing. A perfect summer drink!
