Each year I give myself a secret mission. In a very Mission Impossible style: my mission (which I always choose to accept) is to find THE drink of Summer. The signature drink that will be ordered first to kick start the evening with an injection of summer fun. The drink must excel my standard tipples and become cherished as the drink of *insert year here*. It must quench a thirst on a humid afternoon by being refreshingly cool in both the practical and fashionable way.
This year, the search for the signature drink of summer 2009 was astoundingly unsuccessful. Like a fox on the hunt I searched high and low across the field of Sydney bars chasing my prize. I sipped vodkas, sloshed scotch and had a grand old time on the cherished wines- but never seemed to find THE one. Finally, on a wintery evening last Saturday the mission was completed albeit a few months late.
I present to you the signature drink of "Summer" 2009:
HENDRICK'S TONIC
2 oz Hendrick's Gin
Tonic Water
Served in a highball glass garnished with cucumber.
