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.
