Espresso tonic. A simple idea, but good in a grown-up bitter-and-refreshing way. Make an espresso, preferably a double, and while it’s cooling, put a good tonic in a glass with plenty of ice, then pour over the coffee to get that banded effect. Finish with lime. I thought that this was a purely Italian thing, but today discovered it dates from 2007 & the Helsingborg café, Koppi Roaster’s. Happy #notacocktail Sunday, all.

We’ve been making this stay-at-home period a bit easier by one of us choosing our supper each day. My turn is one of my favourites, learned from my mother and her trusty copy of French Provincial Cooking - an original 7/6 paperback that has dropped to bits due to use and has now lost the key pages on boeuf a la borguignonne - but the recipe is one that I seem have known forever. I am not sure what my mother would have made of our current situation, but I do know her solution would have involved cooking.

Looking for something simple tonight, I picked up this Martini recipe earlier: a Pink variation, and easy enough if you’d like to make one as well: 50ml of a light floral gin, 10ml of good orange liqueur and a decent shake of Angosturas. Purists would say not a Martini, but this is very good. Happy #saturdaynightcocktails, all.
