Triple Threat

TRIPLE THREAT

Double the action...triple the threat! Here we have another "fan made" cocktail I got from the forums. Albeit being rather "costly"/drink (considering the required articles for only two cocktails), this drink has the ability to be modified easily. The recipe serves two.

What is needed:

• 1 orange
• 1 blood orange
• 1 grape fruit
• 1 dl of alcohol (e.g. vodka, gin or even flavored vodka)

 Squeeze the juices from all fruits into their separate cups. Remember to save thick-ish slices of each fruit for later garnishing. Pour the juices into a cocktail shaker, add the chosen alcohol and ice, shake vigorously and double strain into two high ball glasses filled with ice so none of the pulp reaches the drink. Decorate with the fruit slices (as seen in the picture above).

What I now suggest is that you only use half of everything and shake one cocktail at a time. When I first did this with the "full measures", my shaker was extremely (too) full thus the shaking wasn't at its best.

This drink is absolutely and plain wonderful. The mixture of three citrus fruit combined with the alcohol gives that little something to your "glass of juice". Double straining this gives it a nice homogenenous look with no actual pulp in the drink. For a summer evening, just perfect.
