The Grand Esprit - THE Summer drink

Posted by Paul Handley on Thu 24th June 2010 at 08:30 AM, Filed in Cooking GiftsGifts For HerGifts For Him

With Our Great British Summer starting to show real signs of a long hot one, what you really need is a long cool one (drink).

There is a new kid on the block for Summer drinks, providing a refreshing change to a glass of rose or bubbly and, dare I say it, a nice cool lager. Those that know me well will be shocked, but I would rather have a Grand Esprit than a beer!

The Grand Esprit fuses the subtle taste of Grand Marnier, with a splash of elderflower and a dash of soda water, fresh strawberries and a slice of orange to complete the perfect serve.

How to make a Grand Esprit…..
Fill a tall glass with cubed ice
25ml Grand Marnier
25ml elderflower cordial
175ml soda water
Stir well and add slices of orange and strawberry
1 unit per serve
For a pitcher, multiply the ingredients by four.

Gather all the ingredients, Grand Marnier can be purchased from all major supermarkets. Wait for the sun and you will not be disappointed. A real summer winner.
