The Long Hot Breeze Cocktail
Description
Toast goodbye to the hot summer months over this long holiday weekend with this hip-hot highball--The Long Hot Breeze.
Highball you say...it sounds like a cocktail to me. I agree, but a www.RoyalTart.com staffer came across a very fitting potential differentiation between cocktail and highball on Wikipedia. “Fitting” as this cocktail would be a great drink while you are entertaining around the pool during this long holiday weekend.
According to Wikipedia a cocktail is drunk in the evening before dinner, a highball is drunk in the afternoon when the sun is high (ball referring to the sun) and should be light and refreshing. O.J. and Ginger Ale certainly are refreshing and with a bit of heat from the vodka your entire party will be frolicking in the cool pool in no time.
add to shopping list Ingredients
1 oz Pepper Vodka
3 oz Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
3 oz Ginger Ale
1 Optional Garnish: fresh jalapeño pepper slice float or if you have time make jalapeño pepper ice cubes.
Preparation
Fill a highball glass with ice cubes; pour in the vodka and the O.J. then top the glass off with the Ginger Ale. Enjoy the delicious taste and great feel of a hot summer breeze. Garnish with a slice of fresh jalapeño or if you have time make jalapeño ice cubes before the barbeque: place a slice of fresh jalapeño in a set of ice cube trays; fill each tray with water; freeze; add a few jalapeño ice cubes to each glass along with regular ice cubes for a hot happening look.
Enjoy the holiday weekend, kiss the summer breeze goodbye and say "hello" to autumn. Check out our other recipes and entertaining tips at www.RoyalTart.com.
