We were invited to a really neat press event by HP, where they revealed new Ultrabook and Sleekbook systems. We’ll be doing up a review on the new HP Envy-4 range in a bit, but in the meantime…

What we really liked was the fact that HP had gotten the venue hosts, Bar Stories, to mix up a cocktail inspired by the Ultrabook range of notebooks! (Ok, I can’t drink, but every other journos there seemed to be loving it)

Here’s the recipe, given to us by Bar Stories’ helpful bartender, David, for you to try It’s slightly tweaked from the recipe we got in the press kit.

1.5 oz of Gin

1 oz Kyoho grape liquer (this is from the Suntory brand)

9 grapes (the dark skinned type)

0.75 oz lemon juice

0.75 oz sugar syrup

1. Muddle grapes in a silver tin (that means mash them up)

2. Add in the rest of the ingredients and half a cup of crushed ice, stirring gently with a scooping motion.

3. Top up the mixture with soda water

4. Garnish with sliced grapes
