Finding the perfect vodka, lemon, lime and bitters

I was first introduced to the non alcoholic version of this summer drink on a first date in a small café in Melbourne. Tiny, yet intimate, Rue Bebelons is on little Longsdale street and is a gorgeous place …http://www.theage.com.au/news/bar-reviews/rue-bebelons/2006/06/19/1150569269118.html

Now to create this concoction you will need;

Ingredients:

• Zillions of fresh lime and lemons
• Ice cubes
• Lime cordial
• lemonade/soda water
• Angostura bitter
• Vodka (optional)

Method

• Take a chilled tall glass, add ice up to half way
• Pour the Angostura bitter in between the sides of the glass and the ice, making a full circle
• Slice thick wedges of lime and lemon
• Squeeze the juices of both in the glass on top of the ice – (one whole lemon and lime per glass)
• Add a shot of vodka (optional)
• Pour a shot of lime cordial in the glass
• Fill the rest of the glass up with either lemonade or soda water
• Pop a couple of slices of lemon and lemon in the glass
• Add a straw. …and sip away
