As the weather cools down and we leave cool boxes and the beach behind, we can still use white spirits such as rum, vodka or gin as a base. Starting this week, I would like to present a series of cocktails based on white spirits that you can experiment with during autumn. If you like Cointreau, this is the cocktail for you since the orange flavour is prominent by the fresh juice. Salute!
Ingredients
5cl premium gin
2cl Cointreau
3cl fresh orange juice
Preparation
Pour all the ingredients into a shaker half filled with ice. Shake sharply. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of orange.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
