Gin Daisy: Light, Lively, and Perfectly Refreshing
The Gin Daisy, a vibrant cocktail blending gin, lemon, homemade grenadine, and a splash of soda, is a timeless choice for a refreshing aperitif.
The Gin Daisy is a light, refreshing cocktail, ideal for summer or warm climates. As a year-round favorite in places like Miami and Puerto Rico, the Gin Daisy offers a balance of tangy citrus, floral gin notes, and a touch of sweetness from homemade grenadine. It’s perfect for anyone seeking a blend of classic appeal and modern charm.
Step 1: Homemade Grenadine
For the freshest grenadine: Choose a ripe, juicy pomegranate. To prepare, carefully score and peel it, then separate the seeds. Place the seeds in a Ziploc bag, remove the air, seal, and gently crush with a rolling pin. Cut a small hole in one corner of the bag, and strain the juice into a bowl. One pomegranate yields approximately 1/2 cup of juice.
Ingredients
1/2 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 lemon peels (about 2-inch pieces)
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine pomegranate juice and sugar. Bring to a low boil, add the lemon peels, and simmer for 15 minutes. Cool before using to add the perfect burst of freshness to your Gin Daisy.
Step 2: Gin Daisy Cocktail
Ingredients:
2 oz gin
3/4 oz Cointreau
3/4 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 oz homemade grenadine
Splash of soda water
Garnish:
Lemon slice
Mint sprig
Glassware:
Rock glass
Instructions
Add the gin, Cointreau, lemon juice, and homemade grenadine to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake well. Fill a rock glass with ice cubes, strain the cocktail into the glass, and finish with a splash of soda water. Garnish with a lemon slice and a sprig of mint for a vibrant, aromatic touch.
