Ooh....Tuesday Tipple! The Maltese Falcon


During our recent trip to Malta this summer I was delighted to see my favourite cocktail the Maltese Falcon was still on the menu at 120 Bar. A sharp, citrusy drink made with the local liqueur Bajtra which gives it a delicate pink colour. Here's how it's made....



Ingredients:



1 measure Vodka (I freeze mine to make it extra syrupy)
1 measure Bajtra
1 measure Limocello (or any lemon liqueur)
Lemonade
Ice

Method:

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.....


 ....and then pour in the Vodka, Bajtra and Limoncello.  Shake vigorously until well frosted and strain into a cocktail glass. Top up with lemonade to taste.


Et Voila!

Enjoy!

  1. Looks pretty. Always wanted to visit Malta. Is the Bajtra available in the U.S?

  2. There are a few useful sites online where you can order Bajtra (and various other Mediterranean treats!) - I will have a Useful Links section up and running soon but off the top of my head here's a couple you could check out:
