English Rose
A sophisticated and visually stunning cocktail that embodies the elegance of its namesake. This drink features a base of dry gin, sweetened with luscious apricot brandy and a splash of grenadine for a delicate pink hue. Balanced by dry vermouth and a hint of lemon, it is served in a sugar-rimmed glass for a touch of classic glamour.
