Thal on the rocks

• 2 cl dry Gin (Gordon's)*1 cl Creme de Cassis
• 4 cl Vodka (Absolut or Finlandia)*Fill with 1 part Bitter lemon
• Fill with 1 part Tonic water
• 1 dash Lime juice
• 3 cubes Ice

Take the highball, put in 3 to 4 ice cubes, add 1 cl of creme de cassis (not cooled), then 4 cl of preferably Absolut Vodka along with 2 cl of Gordon's Dry. Fill in the glass with equal parts of bitter lemon and tonic water, pour and squeeze in one fourth of a lime. Garnish with a pair of cherrys, one in, one outside the glass.

Taste: refreshing ideal summer drink although highly alcoholic. Origin: got the idea while working as a bartender, was asked to create some fresh but nonetheless strong alcoholic mix.
