The twelve cocktails of Christmas
#11: A Cocktail of Two Cities
This Christmas, our great friends Margo and Aaron travelled from Canada to spend holidays with us. They are both cocktail lovers, and their visit was a big part of my idea to do the twelve cocktails of Christmas.
One of our gifts to Margo was a copy of Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails With a Literary Twist. She thanked us by mixing up a round of A Cocktail of Two Cities.
Dickens and Christmas go together like… gin and champagne it turns out. As the book says, “the result is revolutionary.”
- 1 sugar cube
- 50ml gin
- 25ml lemon juice
- champagne
- Place a sugar cube at the bottom of a champagne flute.
- Pour the gin and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and shake well.
- Strain into the champagne flute, and fill the remainder of the glass with champagne.

I am loving the 12 cocktails of Christmas idea! Happy New Year!
Thank you so much, and a very happy new year to you too!
Andrea – your ideas are so brilliant as always!! A cocktail of two cities sounds wonderful and the hot buttered rum perfect for a cold Dec/Jan eve. We will be going up to Epsom downs to watch the fireworks from this side of London and will blow a kiss to you and the family!! Miss yooooou! Happy new year to you all!
