Thursday Happy Hour: The Lemon Float

by Joanne Lutynec, Posted Apr 26th 2007 @ 5:02PM

It's not quite the weekend, but that has never stopped us from having happy hour before, has it? I came across this recipe for a Lemon Float at Vodkapundit's website, and it inspired me enough to whip out the cocktail shaker a day early. He combines premium citron vodka, Cointreau, simple syrup, juice of a lemon, and a drop of vanilla extract in a shaker over ice. The chilled mixture is then poured very slowly into a sugar-rimmed glass over a 1/2 oz of Chambord, so it floats on top.

Steve's words of advice when serving this cocktail? Drink quickly. Repeat until naked.

(Thanks, Steve!)
