A BIT OF AL FRESCO



A nice warm summers day, so time to re-create that cocktail we had in Paris a couple of weeks ago.
A Couintreaupolitan.
50ml Cointreau
20ml of Fresh Lemon Juice
60ml of Cranberry Juice.
Put into a shaker with Ice Cubes, shake for 15 seconds or so, and serve. 
Fantastic.


Then why not fresh gutted local Sardines.
A marinade of Olive oil, lemon vinegar (or white wine vinegar), chopped parsley and garlic, plus a chopped chilli.
Season with sea salt and ground black pepper, and cut a bayleaf roughly.
Marinate skin side down in the fridge for 4 hours, 24 hours is better , and serve with tossed salad and warm toasts.

Life is good in France
