Good Night (the)
This time it's for real.
By popular demand (like 2 people asked us for it but we're doing something big with it as usual) we give you the majestic "good night". To concoct this recipe our Alchemist came out of the basement where we try to hide him and went straight to Greece.
He asked us:
-How do people dress in Greece?
We answered:
-I don't really know, like the rest of us...?
So he put on his best clothes (see photo) to go and not only introduce Québécøl to Greece but also to get inspiration from it for your little drink of the week and it is comfortably seated at the police station in Thessaloniki that he sent us this recipe.
So for this recipe you will need:
- 1 ounce of our memorable CØYØT
- 1 ounce of Metaxa (it's Greek... hello! thematic!!)
- 1 ounce of Tequila (try Cherry River Tequila - 100% Quebec)
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce of our pharaonic Gin-Réduit
- 1/4 ounce maple syrup (1:1 maple syrup to water)
- A 7up chloupée
- A pinch of salt
- Your favorite ice cream
In your favorite shaker add the CØYØT , Metaxa, Tequila, lime juice, Gin-Réduit and the syrup syrup. Stir it lovingly for at least 15 seconds to make sure it's all stirred well. Then you're going to strain it into a highball glass in which you've previously placed some nice fresh ice (make sure it doesn't taste like the freezer). Then you're going to add a slug of 7up (don't get so upset, you're putting a few sips in, it's not a recognized unit... yet). Finish it all off with a pinch of sifto salt that you buy at Costco (pack of 3) in a cardboard box. Any other salt will taste less good. Take the long long cocktail spoon, give it a spin in the glass like the belle of the ball and it's ready.
But beware, the Bonne Nuit - it's strong! It's alcohol on alcohol with a bit more alcohol. To be consumed in moderation.
