We’re still getting a lot of rain this spring so we wanted to brighten things up with a cheery-looking cocktail. Looking up recipes on the InterWeb had us all over the map for an April Showers cocktail. Cognac, brandy, etc. If that’s your cup of liquor go that route but we found a refreshing gin recipe we preferred.
Ingredients
3 oz gin (or vodka)
6 oz red grapefruit juice
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon simple syrup
Mix in a shaker with ice and pour into a cocktail glass. Or pour it into a highball glass with ice. Doesn’t matter. We just want a bright, sun-shiny symbol of hope for better weather!
