Congrats to my best girl Lauren on becoming the first follower of Revel & Feast. She now gets a cocktail named in her honor. What’s that you say? You want a cocktail named after you too? Join The A List and I’ll make it happen.
Lauren is not only a very pretty lady, she also has a very sexy brain that she uses to defend your consumer rights in the courtroom. Thus, I present to you:
THE SEXY LAWYER
3/4 cup white sugar
5 cups very cold water
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (please do not cheat by using bottled juice)
1 inch knob of ginger, thinly sliced
1 cup amaretto
1/3 cup vodka
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, one cup of water and the ginger slices. Make a simple syrup by completely dissolving the sugar in the water over low heat. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Discard ginger slices.
Pour the lemon juice into a pitcher and then pour in the simple syrup. Stir thoroughly.
Add the remaining water, amaretto and vodka. Stir thoroughly.
Pour over ice into a tall glass. Sit back and enjoy.
Makes enough for you and your five best friends.
