This past weekend we had a couple of friends (Janine and Robb) visit to see Dana and I.  OK, who am I kidding, they came to see Liam.  Anyway, I wanted to make a cocktail to celebrate the visit.  They read the blog and have been telling me that they miss cocktail Wednesday.  So I figured, I might bring it back as Cocktail Tuesday.  I think it rolls off the tongue nicely.  It was quite frigid so I wanted to bring back good thoughts of the summer.  So I mixed a cocktail that light, refreshing and brought you right back to the beach.

Citroen Sunset

Fill a rocks glass with ice.

Pour in the Ketel One Citroen or other citrus vodka, OJ, freshly squeezed lemon juice and grenadine.  Stir.

Then top with 3 oz of Sprite or other lemon-lime soda.

Then Enjoy!
