I don't know about you, but I was ready for a little bit more summer (although I am loving busting out the knee-high boots again). I found myself some indoor sunshine courtesy of the (massive) September issue of InStyle magazine.
So without further adieu, the Salted Plum & Vodka Tonic:
Ingredients for one drink (Large. Could easily be split into 2 shorter glasses.):
*1 red plum, pitted and sliced. Reserve one slice (the prettiest.)
*1&1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
*1oz. simple syrup
*2oz. vodka
*tonic water
*sea salt
1) Place plum slices in cocktail shaker, and muddle (wooden spoon handle perfect for this job)
2) Add lime juice, syrup, and vodka.
3) Shake with 1/4 cup ice. Strain (really, really strain) into a glass. Use fresh ice if you'd like.
4) Garnish with a plum slice (set it on flat, otherwise it sinks); sprinkle sea salt on top.
That's it! Delish. And don't feel like you need to go out and buy simple syrup. All it is is 2 parts sugar to one part water. Boil your water, add the sugar until it's dissolved, let it cool, and use it or pack it away in the fridge. Easy peasy.
