Today’s delight comes, once again, from the Bar Hemingway. It is sure to please all members of the fairer sex that you may be
entertaining, as well as any gentlemen who stop by. The Robertino has just the right amount of
sweetness to it, the balance impeccably perfected at the esteemed establishment
of its birth.
Once again there is not a depth of history involved , it was created
in 2005 by one of the bartenders at the Ritz for a regular who frequently brings
models, actresses and rock stars into the bar. It is obviously influenced by
the Cosmopolitan, but the flavor seems more balanced and enjoyable.
To me this is a drink meant to share with someone, so this
will make enough for two. Start by
placing a sprig of fresh mint in a shaker, add two ounces of Grey Goose vodka,
and muddle slightly. Add one ounce of fresh
squeezed mandarin orange juice and an ounce of Cointreau. Lastly add six ounces of cranberry
juice. Fill the shaker with ice and
mix. Pour the contents into two ice
filled old fashioned glasses, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint. Serve while Labelle's Lady Marmalade plays suggestively
in the background.
