Chill Out with a
Quarantine Cooldown
We got a little stir crazy during our shelter
in place and decided to take a social distancing
field trip to LaGrange. It was really about the
drive and being out of the house but we did
make two stops. One was to Wild Leap for
a quick pickup of a refreshing drink called
“Detox Retox.” The distillery has gotten creative
during the COVID-19 crisis and canned
these cocktails. The drink I chose featured
cucumber, lime and kiwi. I thought it would be
delightfully refreshing and the original recipe
can be found by going to www.wildleap.com.
For my recipe, however, I had to experiment.
I chose to use fresh kiwi and cucumber
vodka , but I also discovered that coconut
rum adds a fun little twist as well.
And, if you don’t like club soda,
you can easily substitute Sprite.
I hope you enjoy!
