The Calpolian

Hey, pull up a chair and pick up a glass, this is Rough Diamond Drinks.



First drink of the blog is the Calpolian. Inspired by an adult love of this childhood draught and the fact that a lot of drinks and liqueurs tastes like medicine.

The recipe is simple:
0.5cl Calpol (Under 5s)
2.0cl Vodka
SHAKE
Add a Marashino Cherry and a bit of syrup.

This drink is a gorgeous shade of pink, rather nicely offset by the cheeky red of the cherry.
First off there is a luscious flavour of sweet strawberry, then (hello!) there is the vodka. At the end it gets a bit bitter, like a spoilt child. As it slips down the throat can I feel it curing my ills? No.
