SEPTEMBER MORN COCKTAIL—Country Club Style
This classic pre-Prohibition cocktail offers a refreshing balance of sweet and tart flavors, featuring the distinctively rich profile of Old Tom Gin. Fresh lime juice provides a zesty brightness that cuts through the botanical sweetness, while a touch of grenadine adds a delicate pink hue and subtle fruitiness. Served chilled in a cocktail glass, it makes for an elegant and satisfying aperitif.
