Naples Lemon Twist Cocktail
Take a taste journey to the sunlit streets of Naples with our Naples Lemon Twist, a creative twist on the classic "Napoli" cocktail. Blending the smoothness of vodka with the subtlety of an anise-flavored liqueur and the sharpness of ginger ale, this concoction is elevated with a citrusy zest from fresh orange. It's the perfect cocktail to cool down your summer evenings or brighten up your friendly gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 cl of vodka
- 1 cl of anise liqueur (like Galliano)
- 13 cl of ginger ale
- 1 fresh orange zest
- 4 to 5 ice cubes
Preparation steps
- Start by placing the ice cubes in a highball glass.
- Gently pour in the vodka, followed by the anise liqueur.
- Top up with ginger ale, pouring slowly to keep the fizz.
- Stir gently with a spoon in circular and upward motions for about 10 seconds, mixing the flavors while maintaining the sparkle.
- Using a peeler, extract a zest of orange. Squeeze it slightly over the glass to release its essential oils, then let it fall into your drink.
