Cooking Notes
Should you find this concoction to be appealing enough to drink more than two glasses, be certain to be seated on a low chair or sofa, close to the floor, as gravity will have her way with you.
Normally, I drink Ricard or Penrod in a tall glass, sometimes with one ice cube and of course a small pitcher of ice cold water on the side. I was introduced to this, learned to drink it this way in French West Africa. A refreshing summer-time drink. Careful, not too strong or a nap may come along the way. Having said that, I will try this as I like both and have had and liked drinks with Champagne, Cava, and Prosecco mixed with a number of my favorites. A great "welcome", "welcome home" gift.
