A little rough around the edges, but sweet and lovely all the same. Here is a cocktail from David A. Embury’s The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks (1948):
Sweet and Lovely
- 1 part Maraschino & Grenadine (half and half)
- 2 parts Lime Juice
- 3 parts Gin
- 5 parts Applejack
Shake with cracked ice.
Make sure you use Maraschino liqueur, not the juice from your maraschino cherry jar. I substituted raspberry syrup for the grenadine which I liked, but either way would work. Just make sure to use real pomegranate grenadine and all will be good.
