Cointreau (orange liqueur) / Daily Mix / Gin / Throwback Thursday

Gin Daisy

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...
