But first, relax with a cocktail...
... the cocktail we invented for my first launch-party, called of course, The Samaritan, which is just the best bloody cocktail you will ever have tasted...
The Samaritan
Take a wineglass, and add the following ingredients, all at room temperature:
- 1 measure gin (or vodka works too, once you've run out of gin)
- 1 measure creme de cassis (for the blood)
- a splash - no more ! - of orange juice
- a dash of orange bitters
