GIN SOUR—Country Club Style

Name: GIN SOUR—Country Club Style
Ingredients: 1 cup Ice cubes (Originally 'Lump Ice'. Quantity estimated to fill mixing glass.); 1/2 fruit Lime (Juice only. Originally '1/2 Lime Juice' (implies juice of half a lime, approx. 0.5 to 0.75 ounce).); 1/2 fruit Orange (Juice only. Originally '1/2 Orange Juice' (implies juice of half an orange, approx. 1.5 to 2 ounces).); 2 dashes Pineapple juice; 1/2 ounce Rock candy syrup (Originally '1/2 pony'. Rock candy syrup is a rich simple syrup (2:1 sugar to water).); 1 1/2 ounces Old Tom Gin (Originally '1 jigger'. Old Tom Gin is slightly sweeter than London Dry.)

This elegant variation of the classic gin sour combines the botanical depth of Old Tom Gin with a refreshing duo of fresh citrus juices. The brightness of lime and orange is perfectly mellowed by rich rock candy syrup and a subtle hint of pineapple, creating a smooth, well-balanced cocktail with a delightful texture. Served chilled in a cocktail glass, this Country Club Style drink offers a sophisticated taste of early 20th-century mixology.
