The Robyn

The other evening I left Robyn and Brian for just ten minutes while they organised a pre dinner drink. I had my wash, got changed and came down to put together a simple cheese board for supper, when they presented me with a gorgeous looking cocktail, now fondly known as ‘The Robyn’.

The idea had come from the evening before, during a little pre dinner tipple of Martini blanc, a drink Brian and I had grown to enjoy of an early evening. Robyn had suggested we try Noilly Prat, a French vermouth, as opposed to the Italian brand. She bought us a bottle at the supermarket to try that evening. When Brian served us all a glass, with one piece of ice, we decided it needed something more in it. Hence the development of;

The Robyn

2 parts Bombay Sapphire

1 part Noilly Prat

1 part Cointreau

Shake well with 4 pieces of ice, and serve with a twist of lime. Voila!
