Green Palmyra (cocktail)


Another variation on the mint-lime classic combination (just like Green Tree, Mojito and so on). Only that this time it uses vodka as its alcohol base. It's not one of those light cocktail (I'll admit it's quite a "heavy" one), but it's also still sweet enough to indulge more lady-like tastes. Anyway, like with all alcohol-based drinks (and sorry for being such a party-pooper), moderation is key :).

Last year: Loubieh Wa Hommus Bi-Ziet (Green beans with chickpeas in olive oil) (Lebanese) (vegan).
Two years ago: Crisp rosemary flatbread (vegan).
Three years ago: Pork steaks with sage sauce and caramelized apples.
Four years ago: Winter tabbouleh with roasted eggplant and feta.



Ingredients (for 1 glass):
  • 25 ml vodka
  • 10 ml lime juice
  • 10 ml mint syrup
  • mint leaves and/or lime slice to garnish (optional)

Just pour the liquids into the glass in no particular order, stir to combine and decorate with a lime slice and / or mint leaves. It's done, cheers! :)
