So Valentine's came around and this was my ode to the lover's holiday. That, and I wanted to make my first "fix." I googled the cocktail to find a proper recipe when I came across Eric Alperin's gin version (available at his bar, The Varnish). What is especially great, is that his fix integrates grenadine into the cocktail. Perfect for me since I had just made myself grenadine 2 weeks ago!
Gin Fix
2 ounces Gin
¾ ounce Homemade Grenadine
½ ounce Fresh Lemon Juice
Lemon Peel for Garnish.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the first three ingredients with ice. Shake and strain the mixture over an old fashioned glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with a lemon twist and/or swizzle stick. Cheers!
Another look at the drink I had nobody to share with. Hopefully next Valentine's...hopefully.
