This is the final July recipe of the Kitchen Matrix Cooking Project.....Cheers!!
It is hard to believe we are finishing up our 7th month. We post a recipe each Tuesday that was inspired by a section of Bittman's Cookbook.
This week, Cam, chose the section Cocktails +12 Ways. Bittman had this section broken down into 4 categories, Gin, Vodka, Tequila and Bourbon. He then gave 3 drink ideas for each liquor.
I decided to make a Collins. Bittman served up a Tom Collins which contains Gin. I am not a Gin drinker, preferring Vodka. I followed Bittman's directions, substituting Vodka for the Gin.
This was a wonderfully refreshing drink. The brightness of the lemon and the effervescence of the soda makes it the perfect Summer Sipper.
Let's see what cocktails the others served up.......

I've been drinking from a bottle of Vanilla Vodka. It is delicious.
