Sea Breeze Cooler

Name: Sea Breeze Cooler
Ingredients: 1 oz gin; 1 oz apricot brandy; 2 dashes grenadine; ½ lemon, juiced — juice of 1/2 a lemon; soda water — to top; ginger ale or tonic might be good as well; mint sprig (might be good muddled in drink as well)

highball · gin · brandy

Pale pink under a mint sprig, tasting like fruit punch right up until the gin arrives. The grenadine is there for color rather than sweetness — the apricot brandy handles that — so stir everything before the soda goes in or the fruit just sits on the bottom. Light-looking drinks are how I lose afternoons.
