Gin Daisy

Gin Daisy cocktail

A delightful classic cocktail from the pre-Prohibition era, the Gin Daisy is a refreshing variation of the sour family. This recipe balances the botanical notes of gin with tart lemon juice, a touch of superfine sugar, and a hint of grenadine for color and subtle sweetness, served simply in a rocks glass.
