Red Lion

Oh it’s so very pretty, the fruity delight that is a The Red Lion!

1 ½oz Gin

¾oz Grand Marnier

¾oz Orange Juice

¼oz Lemon Juice

1tsp Grenadine

1tsp Sugar Syrup

1 dash Orange Bitters

Shake everything with ice and strain into a suitably prepared glass.

After the abuse received previously for using a carton of OJ, I hand squished fresh oranges for this one, and it really does make a difference.

I’m not usually one for a garnish because I’m too impatient to get to the drinking, but for this one we had an orangey sugary rim which looks fab and I still think has a liony vibe about it.

This is definitely worth a go, it’s not the usual slap in the face cocktail that normally make and I really think most people would love it.
