Earlier this year I wrote about a cocktail I invented, which I called the Winter in Dupont Circle. Home-made ginger-infused vodka paired with lemon juice and pear cider, it was a fun drink to make during cider season. So imagine my delight when last Sunday one of the vendors at the Dupont farmers market once again had pear cider. Apparently they froze half-gallon jugs of it and just now pulled them out of cold storage. So I mixed up a batch of ginger-infused vodka and tweaked the recipe just slightly to make a more punch-like summer version of the drink.
Summer in Dupont Circle
1 part ginger-infused vodka
2 parts fresh pear cider
1/4 part lemon juice
Lemon peel for garnish
Fill a small or medium mason jar halfway with ice and add all ingredients, making sure to flex the lemon peel so that some of the essential oils get into the drink. Stir and serve.

That sounds really delicious! Now, you have made me thirsty! I made home-made lemoncello using vodka as Christmas presents two years ago, but I think it would make a great summer drink, too! Janet
Mmm, that sounds tasty. TGIF!
