Recipe: The Ex Cocktail
A citrusy cocktail that will make you swoon.
This sour, sweet, citrusy cocktail makes a one-day only appearance at the Lamplight Lounge in Disneyland for Valentine’s Day. So, if you can’t make it to Anaheim to try the cocktail — or its two other counterparts — on February 14, here’s an easy recipe to recreate it at home.
The Ex
Yields 2 cocktails
Ingredients:
2 ounces citrus vodka
1 cup lemonade
½ ounce agave nectar or simple syrup
1 dash aromatic bitters
Blackberries, for garnish
Directions:
In a cocktail shaker, add vodka, lemonade, agave nectar/simple syrup, and bitters. Shake to combine.
Strain cocktail into two prepared cocktail glasses, top with blackberries, and enjoy!
Takeaway:
This is essentially a glorified vodka lemonade, but it’s still delicious. I wasn’t really getting the sour notes, so I would probably omit the simple syrup next time and maybe even muddle the blackberries to give me more of a punch. All in all, it’s an easy drink to make with ingredients you probably already have on hand, which likely makes it the simplest choice of the three from the A Toast to Love Flight.
