Refreshing Strong

Long Vodka es un largo refresco que combina vodka, jugo fresco de lima, angostura de Angostura y agua tónica, servido sobre hielo en un vaso highball recubierto de angostura. El enjuague de Angostura perfuma el vaso y añade complejidad aromática a lo que de otro modo sería una bebida sencilla y limpia. Es una sofisticada alternativa al estándar Vodka Tonic.

History & Origins

Long Vodka is an informal modern cocktail, origin disputed, that borrows the bitters-coating technique from classic preparation methods like the Trinidad Sour and the Angostura Sour. The concept of rinsing the glass with bitters before adding the main spirit emerged from both Caribbean and European bartending traditions. Its combination of vodka and tonic places it in the long-drink category that grew popular through the latter 20th century.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Aromatic clove and spice from the Angostura bitters, backed by fresh lime juice and clean vodka. Palate: Refreshing and lightly bitter with tonic quinine, citrus tartness, and vodka clean sweetness. Finish: Crisp and dry with lingering aromatic bitters.

Pro Tip

Pour the Angostura bitters into the ice-filled glass first and swirl to coat the interior before adding the vodka, lime, and tonic.
