Everest - a Gin Drink

Do you like that gin?  Are you ready to really dive in to the different ways gin can be used?  Tonight I made a drink called The Everest, which was sweet, spicy, rich and delicious with my curry quinoa burgers.


Ingredients:

• 1 oz Coco Lopez Coconut Milk
• 3/4 tsp curry powder
• 2.5 oz gin
• 1/2 oz lemon juice
• 3 ice cubes
• cilantro garnish

Mix the coconut milk and the curry powder together to make a paste.  Add ice, curry coconut paste, gin, and lemon juice to the shaker.  Shake thoroughly.  Strain into a martini glass and garnish with cilantro and a dash of curry powder.  Drink cold.
