WE’VE chosen this month’s cocktail for no other reason than it has Belvedere in the title – otherwise it’s just a lovely summery drink.

The Independent Lady will give you the ultimate fruity boost of flavours with a thirst-quenching sharp finish.

What you need:

2 oz Belvedere Pink Grapefruit
¾ oz Triple Sec
¾ oz Lemon Juice
Dash Simple Syrup
Dash Egg White (optional)

Method:

1. Shake all ingredients vigorously 

2. Strain into a chilled martini glass

3. Garnish with an orange twist
