The FRENCHIE is a wonderful three-ingredient cocktail for fans of grapefruit juice. A classic London dry gin is a good match with the grapefruit juice and elderflower liqueur. It’s an easy party cocktail to prepare, or probably even better for...
The GIBSON is a classic martini, usually gin, garnished with a pickled cocktail onion rather than an olive or lemon twist. It’s an unusual gin martini because it doesn’t use any bitters as others do. The cocktail onion adds a...
Cointreau (orange liqueur) / Daily Mix / Gin / Throwback Thursday
by Keet · Published March 12, 2024
The GIN DAISY has two versions — an old-school and new-school. I favor the old-school recipe which sweetens lemon juice with orange liqueur. It maintains the classic lemony “Sour.” It’s refreshing, and is a great precursor to dinner. This simple...

The MATCHA GIN cocktail is a wonderfully refreshing cocktail for those who enjoy pineapple-flavored cocktails. Japanese matcha powder adds a richness to the mix giving it an unusual green color (no, it’s not pea soup), but is a welcome addition...
The SEABOARD is a smooth lemon-flavored cocktail mixing whiskey with gin. Like the Woodstock, it combines lemon juice with gin. And like the Long Island Iced Tea, the multiple liquor combination has no dominant liquor flavoring. It all works together....
