TheCosmicCocktail

This is my HowTo for one of my homemade drinks, which I call TheCosmicCocktail.

This can be served as either an alcoholic or non-alcoholic refresher.


Ingredients:
makes one pint

• Juice of 1/2 a lemon
• Juice of 1/3 an orange
• Ice-water
• Salt
• Lots of crushed ice!
• Vodka (optional) OR
• Fruit schnapps (optional)
  

Directions:

1. Acquire fresh lemon and orange juices using the same juicer. Juice the lemon first and then the orange, allowing the orange juice to mingle with the lemon juice.
2. Place the crushed ice (two ice trays-worth seems good) into the pint glass.
3. Sprinkle a tiny amount of salt over the top of the ice. Less than a fingertip-pinch will do. This causes it to stick together.
4. Pour the lemon/orange juice mixture over the crushed ice.
5. (Optional step) Add a shot-glass amount of vodka/fruit schnapps to the juice.
6. Fill to the top with ice-water.
7. Finish with a bendy straw and salt the rim for effect.

Good for a hot day, or just to remind yourself that you're alive!
