Description

Lennon Lime Light is built as a music-inspired cocktail rather than a classic replica. The ingredients — Gin, Lime syrup, citrus juice, Mint cordial, Soda water. Serve well chilled — are used to suggest stage presence, colour and personality.

The aim is to make the drink feel instantly recognisable on a party menu: easy to photograph, easy to describe and expressive enough to sit alongside other artist-themed cocktails.

Serve it on playlist nights, birthdays, pre-concert gatherings or any cocktail list where the story behind the serve matters as much as the flavour.

Ingredients

  • 45 ml Gin
  • 20 ml Lime Syrup
  • 20 ml citrus juice
  • 10 ml Mint Cordial
  • Soda Water to top

Bar Spoon – Used to stir the drink smoothly with ice before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink. Bottle Opener – Useful if the serve uses bottled soda, ginger beer or sparkling wine.
