Since wine is taboo during the nine days, we’ve come up with a special GKC cocktail for those slow summer evenings

GKC Martini

For 2 – can be doubled if friends drop by

1-1/2 ounces vodka
1-1/2 ounces cranberry juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 thin slices jalapeno (optional for those who like an extra kick)

Combine vodka, cranberry juice and lime juice and pour over ice. Add jalapeno, if desired. Sit back and relax.
