With that much passion fruit syrup, I knew this would be a very sweet drink. It wasn’t quite as diabetes inducing as I thought, though, and I think the club soda is the reason for that.
What. Is. Happening.
I’m using VODKA.
I do think that’s something you can do and have a nice cocktail. I’ve just been avoiding it intentionally, because I think it lends itself to laziness. (It’s also possible I have some residual new-found cocktail snobbery.)
I ended up at William’s house tonight and was having difficulty coming up with a cocktail based on his limited ingredients (he was completely out of citrus fruits, just like I have been lately). I saw the Green Mary mix from New Year’s in his fridge and decided to try a lighter version with club soda. It’s not bad! The soda does seem a bit strange in it, but it also makes it seem more like a drink and less like a bowl of boozy tomato soup.
I came across this the other day when looking for tequila drinks, the first of which was Day 6. I was super surprised by this recipe, since I thought that sunrises were just tequila, orange juice, and grenadine. I thought it looked interesting enough to try. I added more club soda than they specified because it would have been a short drink in a tall glass otherwise.
This seems like a good drink for a hot day. It was fairly sweet, so next time I make it I’ll add more lime and decrease the grenadine.
