    Hop, Skip and Go Naked

    Hop, Skip and Go Naked cocktail

    This post may contain affiliate links.

    So today I have another super fun cocktail recipe to share with all of you. Β It’s called the Hop, Skip, and Go Naked. Β This is a more sophisticated version of a college classic. Β Traditionally, Hop, Skip and Go Naked is made withΒ a case of cheap beer, a fifth of bottom shelf vodka, lemon-lime soda, and lemonade or limeade frozen concentrate. Β Many Β years ago, this drink would have easily satisfied my pre-requisites for getting drunk: Β cheap, easy to drink, and simple to prepare. Β Nowadays, I no longer drink to get drunk. Β Instead, I like to sip on an ice cold cocktail to enjoy it’s flavor, aroma, color and (sometimes) curious subtleties. Β Something a little more like this version of Hop, Skip and Go Naked made withΒ IPA, grapefruit juice, lemon vodka, and homemade lemon-lime syrup. Β It’s crisp, colorful, and wonderfully bitter. Β Plus,Β Β you won’t get a killer hangover after kicking back a few of these! Β Continue reading for the recipe!

    Servings 1 cocktail

    Ingredients
      

    For the Lemon Lime Simple Syrup:

    • 1/2 cup 115g sugar
    • 1/2 cup 120ml water
    • Zest of 1 lemon, in strips
    • Zest of 1 lime, in strips

    For the Cocktail:

    • 1 fluid ounce 30ml lemon vodka
    • 1 fluid ounce 30ml freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
    • 1 teaspoon 5ml lemon-lime simple syrup (recipe follows)
    • 2 fluid ounces 60ml cold IPA
    • Ice
    • 1 long strip of grapefruit zest

    Instructions
     

    • Start by making the Lemon Lime Simple Syrup. Combine sugar, water, lemon zest, and lime zest in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved into the water. Bring the mixture to a boil, let bubble for 1 minute, then take the saucepan off the heat. Cover and let infuse for 30 minutes. Strain the syrup into a clean jar, and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
    • To make the cocktail, add citrus vodka, grapefruit juice, and simple syrup to a Collins glass filled with ice. Stir until well combined and chilled. Add IPA and gently stir just to combine.
    • Taste a bit of the cocktail for balance. If it is too bitter, add more simple syrup. If it is too sweet, add more grapefruit juice.
    • To garnish, submerge the strip of grapefruit zest into the cocktail.

      Hahahaa… I had your post open as a tab on my internet browser at work, and a colleague came in and said, ‘…uh, go naked?’!! I was pleased to reveal to him that it was a cocktail! πŸ˜‰ But anyway, love the name and love the sound of this cocktail. It’s 4.20pm on Friday afternoon and I completely intend to leave work, make one, sit on my couch and sip away for a blissful half hour or so!! Great Friday wind-down. Thanks Brandon!
