WoM – Pandemic Christmas Edition: Angel’s Delight
Tonight’s cocktail is a repeat from 2011. It has the color, the texture, and the almost the taste of that liquid antibiotics I used to take as a kid, though I think that I prefer the antibiotics to this cocktail.
Angel’s Delight
- 3/4 oz. gin
- 3/4 oz. triple sec
- 1 oz cream
- 2-3 dashes grenadine
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes, pour the gin, triple sec, cream, and grenadine.
- Shake well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
I used Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice special edition gin this time. I used half-and-half instead of full cream. As in 2011, I still have no idea what a “dash” is. I put in about 1½ lid-full.
I’m as perplexed about this cocktail as I was 9 years ago. Maybe if someone finds the perfect-match gin it works. I’m not sure I’d be willing to try again though, unless I need a pretty pink cocktail.
