English Rose Cocktail
🥃 Serve in: Cocktail Glass
Apricot brandy's stone-fruit sweetness meets gin, dry vermouth, grenadine, and a touch of lemon juice for a pink, Prohibition-era classic garnished with a cherry. It picked up a reputation as a "ladies' cocktail" back in its day -- a label that says more about the era than the drink, which holds up fine for anyone regardless. A good, easy introduction to apricot brandy as more than just a supporting player.
