Grace

Salvatore says: ‘This is an elegant and refreshing drink it has a great texture for a long drink.’

Ingredients

50ml pear vodka
50ml fresh pear juice
50ml fresh apple juice
25ml fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey syrup
3cms lemon grass
4 or 5 mint leaves

Method

Cut the lemon grass into 4 or 5 pieces and muddle in the bottom of the shaker add the remaining ingredients. Add ice. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain over crushed ice using a single strainer, a few particles of mint and lemon grass will pass through the filter – this is intentional. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lemon grass straw.
To make a lemon grass straw, trim a piece of lemon grass approx 2cms shorter than a plastic straw. Insert the straw into the lemon grass and place in the drink.
