Seeing as it is almost XMAS, I thought a cocktail utilizing grenadine was in order seeing as pomegranates for me are a lovely festive Christmas fruit given its vibrant red colour and winter availability. I was somewhat surprised then, that this delicious cocktail hasn't made it to Difford's top XMAS cocktail list! Perfect sweet / sour balance for me using the given ratios, available lemons, and homemade grenadine.

A delicious, refreshing cocktail. Would make this one again.

Wonderful cocktail. A perfect blending of the herbal gin and the apple hints of the calvados. We used a little less grenadine as we like our drinks sour and our lemons are a little on the sweet side. Great.
