Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 3 ounces gin ((make it a good one))
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar ((it'll dissolve more quickly than granulated or superfine sugar))
  • Soda water ((or, if you have a sweet tooth, lemon-lime flavored soda or seltzer))
  • A slice or twist of lemon or lime

Instruction

  • Toss the ice in the blender. Add the gin, lemon or lime juice, and sugar and blend until smooooooth. (You may need to pulse it several times at the beginning until the ice is properly chopped. And then let the motor whir even if the blender begins to hop a little.)
  • Pour the boozy concoction into a glass. Top with a splash of soda water (or, for a sweeter twist, some lemon-lime soda). Garnish with the lemon or lime.
