Squid Mixes: Gin Sour

This is the same recipe employed two weeks ago for the brandy sour.  Both came from Imbibe! by David Wondrich.  I will admit to being a little skeptical of the gin, lemon combo but it was fine.  The lemon is dominant enough that there's no clash.  My wife described the result as "almost summery," though that did not discourage her from drinking it in winter.

    1. It's been a busy month here, too. I'm hoping to get back to mocktails but it could be a while - they are a little more time-intensive.

    1. According to the Interwebs, Wink was grapefruit-based but close enough, I suppose. Your memory of alcohol-induced illness relate to brandy. Mine relates to gin and lemon soda!
