It's quite appropriate that the night after so many of us watched the final twists and turns of LOST I found this delicious cocktail recipe named after a character from that other (perhaps even more) bizarre television series Twin Peaks.
It's summery and refreshing and we quickly polished a pitcher off with neighbors on the patio this evening.
The Leland Palmer
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup hot water
3 cups freshly brewed jasmine tea, cooled (I used regular ol' iced tea.)
3/4 cup gin
3/4 cup limoncello
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh grapefruit juice
1 cup chilled club soda
Ice cubes
Stir honey and 1/2 cup hot water in small bowl until honey dissolves. Cool completely.
Combine honey water, jasmine tea, gin, limoncello, lemon juice, and grapefruit juice in large pitcher. Add club soda and stir to blend.
Fill six 1-pint mason jars or 6 tall glasses with ice cubes. Divide tea mixture among jars; top each with lemon slice.
