Proverbs 23:31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
Birthday greetings Pim Pendergast, a perfect time of year to remember Christ with a refreshing drink served in a frosted glass which could be dipped in sugar around the top. Depending on the pineapple juice. Jesus recommended wines and a couple are included in the ingredients, none of which are red.
INGREDIENTS
Fresh pineapple juice (or small bott.) about 1 cup of
Cointreau about ½ cup
Fresh mint leaves
Soda water
Crème de Menthe about 1 measure or to taste
funnel
1 bott. (miniature) Élixir Végétal (or green Chartreuse)
Combine the pineapple juice, Cointreau and Crème de Menthe with ice if desired and mix well. Add soda water to almost fill glass and stir slightly. Take the funnel and put in filled glass like this. Pour the Chartreuse [green or élixir végétal] into the funnel so it pools at the bottom of the glass. It may take a few tries to get the technique right here but refreshing, not red and a lovely birthday remembrance.
Garnish with mint leaves.
All the best for the next twelve months!
