Beton

BETON

Some Czech national pride in a glass, I present you with the Beton! Using a rather rare ingredient called Becherovka from the Czech Republic, this is a feisty one! Especially if you prepare some of the garnishes in advance:

• 5 cl Becherovka
• 10 cl tonic water (quality)

Build in a large-ish goblet ~70% filled with ice. As for the garnish, the "official" mentions a squeeze of a lemon wedge and lemon altogether, but I wanted to take this one a bit further. A clove-studded orange peel and two thin slices of fresh ginger.

I liked this one. The foremost sweetness combined with the spicy/fresh aftertaste, nice, very nice indeed! Since Becherovka is not the most common alcohol found in stores/bars...keep an eye for it. You'd be surprised (+ it works magic in e.g. a hot chocolate)
