• 3/2 oz gin
  • 1/2 oz grenadine
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz aquafaba

Shake with ice, then shake one more time without ice.

The grenadine is homemade, and not bright red, so I guess it is more of a pink-ish lady. But still a great cocktail after dinner!

    What’s the flavor profile like on the Citadelle? Any other gins you’d compare it to? I see it a lot at my local and I’ve been trying to decide if it’s worth trying a bottle.

      I haven’t tried many gins, but I would say that it tastes more like citrus than Beefeater, and it smells a lot more floral. But the citrus is not as strong as in Roku. It is priced similarly as Beefeater here, and I like Citadelle a lot more in a gin and tonic, so I usually go with it. I should probably work on my gin tasting notes though ^^ I heard that the Citadelle Jardin d’été was really good too, but I have yet to try it

        Interesting. I generally like a more spice forward profile in gin, but I’ve found that Malfy, which is very citrus forward, can be absolutely superb in the right drink (it’s the only way to make a good Negroni, for one thing). I think I’ll have to give it a try.

    Thanks for sharing OP! Don’t let the 3/2 haters get to you, it makes perfect sense.

    Personally I prefer describing mixed drinks in parts, that way the drink volume can be customized intuitively. For instance, your recipe is 3 parts gin, 1 part each grenadine, lemon juice, and aquafaba.

    Here’s a recipe for a Maple Cinnamon Whiskey Sour.

    3 pt whiskey 2 pt lime/lemon juice 1 pt real maple syrup A dash of cinnamon Shake over ice and serve in glass of your choice

    Now you can make a 3oz drink or a 9 gallon drink lol

      Thanks! I usually save my recipes in ml, so like 45/15/15/15, but yes, parts does make more sense. I’m not used to oz, so I never know how one is supposed to write with them ^^ The maple cinnamon sour sounds good, I’ll have to try it!
