We Have a New Cocktail - Thank You Absolut


Over the last two years, we discovered a beach, named “Noever Beach” by Ms Cleo.
Lovely white sand, a good swimming hole and just perfect, not too far to walk from the car.
 This is last year.
 

When we left our house in the hills, to go to the beach this is where we headed

Well would you believe, our Friend Trishie is living there, of all the beach properties, in Raro, how did we all choice this spot?
Meant to be, I reckon

Here is the view looking out over Noever Beach, Sunset Time, last night
Is this just Paradise, or what?
Oh got a new Cocktail, courtesy of Ms Trishie
Absolut have developed a new flavoured Vodka
Orient Apple and Ginger
Yumo
Poured over ice and a good splash of Cranberry Juice
It’s got to be good for you
A few wines with friends
Great end to the day
So Summer salad for lunch again
First I made a potato Salad, just a simple one

½ a red onion finely sliced
Handful of copped herbs, Parsley, Basil,Chives
2 potatoes, boiled in salted water and cut into mouthfuls

Simple French Dressing
3 parts olive oil
1 part lemon juice
Pinch sugar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

My favourite Mayo dressing
2 tablespoons Best Foods Mayo
Thinned down with
Juice of half a lemon
Some sea salt and freshly ground
If you have an orange, throw in some zest gives it a great citrusy flavour

First blanch red onion in boiling water for about 30 seconds
Drain and toss in about 2 tablespoons  French Dressing
Add herbs and leave to marinate in the fridge

When potatoes are cooked, fork tender
Add to onions

Add some more dressing to moisten
Back to chill

To assemble
Just lay some nice crisp greens on a plate
Dot around some radish pieces
Cucumber sliced
Tomato wedges

Some Smoked Salmon around or my case Ham
A good helping of potato salad

Sprinkle the rest of the salmon or ham on top and drizzle over some of the Mayo
Dressing
Great lunch
