Drink of the Day: Flash Gordon
Since we went on the deep end on yesterday’s cocktail, I wanted to make today’s drink a simple one to make. If you’re a gin enthusiast, this is one I think you will enjoy.
The wash used in this mixed drink is lemon-lime soda. Using the melon liqueur makes this cocktail quite sweet on its own. So, to tone it down, feel free to use club soda in place of the lemon-lime. Either way, you will have yourself a simple to make and refreshing beverage.
Enjoy your Saturday. Cheers!
Flash Gordon
1 1/2 oz. Gin
1/2 oz. Melon Liqueur
Lemon - Lime Soda or Club Soda for a less sweet mixed drink
Method: Build this in a highball glass filled with ice by first adding the first two ingredients to measure. Top off with lemon - lime soda or club soda. Garnish with a lemon and lime half-wheel.
