This is one of my favourite photo shoots. Tim Walker, Paris, and The Ritz ~ a perfect combination!  This shoot took place before the current renovation that is scheduled to be complete in 2014.

 



Couture Cocktails

 

Winter Solstice Cocktail

 

 

1 1/2 ounces orange vodka

1/2 ounce orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau

1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice, preferably from Meyer lemons

                                      Ice cubes                                       

Club soda, chilled

  1 mint leaf, for garnish

              1 raspberry, for garnish              

 

In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, orange liqueur, lemon juice, and ice; shake until well combined. Strain into a chilled martini glass; add a splash of soda. Carefully fold mint leaf in half lengthwise and place the stem end into the opening of the raspberry. Float on top of cocktail and serve immediately.
