There’s something about the summer heat that inspires us to forgo our usual drinking habits and throw caution to the wind, whether it’s a cheeky glass of rosé with lunch or an icy jug of Pimm’s in the afternoon. Fortunately, no drink is quite so flexible as the cocktail, so, taking our lead from culinary cultures around the world, we bring you a boozy blend for every part of the day — from breakfast gin, Menorcan-style, to a prandial pisco in Peru.
Pomada
When: Breakfast
Where: Menorca, Spain
It could be argued that anything containing citrus is a breakfast drink, and Menorcans take this proposition a step further. It’s customary for locals to start the day with a pomada, a delicious combination of lemonade and gin. It’s also a case of starting as you mean to go on, as the drink is popular throughout the day, and it’s not uncommon to see tightly clutched vessels of this golden elixir popping up around markets and festivals. The proper way to have it is with the local gin, Xorigeur, made in wood-fired pot stills from distilled wine (eau-de-vie). If you’re making it at home, your favoured gin brand will do. Garnish with a slice of lemon.
Caesar/Bloody Mary
When: Brunch
Where to have it: Canada
Brunch is traditionally the time when sinners chase the mythological hair of the dog, and the Bloody Mary is the queen of 11am hangover desperation. It’s delicious and divisive enough as is, but The Caesar rivals it on both of these counts. This Canadian variant is virtually identical to its older aunt: vodka, lemon, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and salt. The game changer is a dash of clam juice — the broth taken from steamed clams. Devotees swear by its medicinal and epicurean powers. Sceptics remain unconvinced.
