I've never been a member of a country club, but I imagine that if I was sitting on a patio overlooking a lush golf course, this might be precisely what I'd order.
Country Club Cooler
2 oz dry vermouth
1 tsp grenadine
soda water
citrus twist
Pour vermouth and grenadine into a tumbler or Collins glass over ice; top with soda water and stir. Garnish with a citrus twist–lemon or orange.
Notes: A cooler, as described by David Wondrich, is "a drink made of a base spirit, wine, or liqueur, built over ice, topped with carbonated soda, and sometimes fruit juice, too". This sipper would make a truly spectacular apéritif served with a dish of potato chips or nuts before dinner this weekend–cheers!
Oh, I would like to taste it =)
