The King's Gimlet

The King's Gimlet by Alex Griffiths
  • Bartender: Alex Griffiths

Serve in

Martini glass

Garnish:

Express a piece of grapefruit rind over the cocktail before garnishing with it, easing it into the drink so not to disturb the crown jewel within the gold.

How to make:

Shake all the ingredients except the Cherry Heering with ice, then strain into a martini glass. With a spoon close to the surface of the liquid, carefully pour the Heering into the middle of the drink so it sinks through and pools (or jewels?) at the bottom of the glass.

1 1/2 fl oz Beefeater Crown Jewel Gin
2/3 fl oz Apple juice/apple cider (cloudy & unsweetened)
1/2 fl oz Grapefruit juice (white/yellow)
5/12 fl oz Grand Marnier liqueur
1/12 fl oz Maraschino liqueur
1/6 fl oz Heering Cherry Liqueur
