This past weekend, I got together with several friends for another Titanic Dinner, featuring dishes that were served on that fateful voyage. I'll be featuring some of these dishes all week.
We started the evening with this delicious cocktail. We don't think this drink was actually served on the Titanic but since it was named after Titanic, we thought this drink was appropriate. This drink is refreshingly sweet and I love the lime green colour. Enjoy!Ingredients:
2 oz melon liqueur
1 oz gin
4 oz orange juice
Squeeze of lime juice
Lime to Garnish
Ice
Directions:
1. Shake and strain into a large martini glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime slice.
What a cool idea (I just checked out your previous Titanic Dinner posts)! The drink looks very refreshing - I'm a big gin and lime juice fan, so I know I would love them!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful colour! Any cocktail with lime gets my vote ;)

Is there a suitable substitute for the melon liqueur and the gin if you're a non-drinker?
ReplyDeleteI am sure bookmarking this one.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby bought 2 years back a bottle of melon liqueur and we only used it once and this ones really looks yumm.
I don't drink, but it looks delish.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea having a Titanic Dinner...the drink sounds so good with the melon liqueur...I love reading memorabilia about the Titanic and find the stories of the survivors so interesting.
ReplyDeleteLove melon liqueur, but haven't had it in ages. Maybe I'll indulge in a bottle this summer. A swank cocktail!
