I first had this exquisitely refreshing drink during brunch at Freemans on the Lower East Side in New York. Gin, Cointreau, Lillet, Ouzo and lemon juice are often not the liquids you'd like to imbibe at 11am after a hard night out, but a bold friend ordered one and the rest of us were hooked. I've tried making this with Lillet Rouge and Grand Marnier which was equally tasty and a little tarter but feel free to add simple syrup or follow the recipe below. I like to garnish mine with a sliced lemon peel and perhaps next time, I'll try a sugar rim.Shake the following with ice and strain into martini glasses:
3/4 oz gin
3/4 oz Lillet Blanc
3/4 oz Cointreau
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
A few splashes of Ouzo
