Drink Invention: The Sun Burn Slap

This summer's drink invention comes to us from faithful whinorhinos Liam and Colleen who both have a talent for using what's at hand to come up with a winner everytime. They were inspired by the shiny red British and Irish faces all around them on what turned out to be an extremely sunny weekend in Wales.


Here's a photo courtesy of new friend Paul (I failed to take a picture of the actual drink, because this invention came only after the gin and pimms cocktail was exhausted.)

So with out further ado: How to Make a Sun Burn Slap.

1. Get a big pitcher and throw some ice in.
2. Pour in as much vodka as you think is sensible (or not - remember Colleen was pouring the vodka)
3. Add some lemonade and orange juice.
4. Top up with grapefruit juice to taste.
5. Add a healthy dose of Cripps Family Elderflower Cordial
6. Slice up a handful of strawberries to float on top.
7. Serve over ice to sweaty novice surfers.

I think that was it?? Did I miss anything?

Where can one obtain Crips Family Elderberry Cordial?

I'm told Mr. Cripps brews this himself so it could be tricky. I'm hoping to find a more commercially available alternative... http://www.google.com/products?q=elderflower+cordial&rls=com.microsoft:*:IE-SearchBox&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7GGLJ_en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=zDxKSqXBPJWMjAf8-slh&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=661852961 trial and error I think. Much trial.
