Gin à l'orange




When I was young this gin was our cold medicine, it still is... I know I'm old.  I hated it but it was effective.  We drink it with hot water, lemon juice and honey or maple syrup.  When I moved to United States and couldn't get any, I missed it.  Now I do get some each time I cross the border, coming back from visiting my family in Quebec, Canada.

Sometimes I don't want it hot so here's a cool recipe

Gin à l'orange

Ingredients

1 oz.                                                                          Floral gin ( I use De Kuyper)
1                                                                                Orange
2                                                                                Sage leaves
Ice cubes

Directions 

Place 1 oz. of gin in a shaker ( I use a coffee mug with a lid that airtight closes) with one orange slice, one sage leaf, the juice of the orange and ice cubes.  Shake for 15 seconds and pour in a glass filled with ice cubes.  Garnish with an orange slice and a sage leaf.

Sage and orange is an interesting flavor combination.
