The “Smile Cocktail”
Who doesn't like a good smile? When that Smile is a cocktail it gets even better! The Smile Cocktail combines Gin, Grenadine and fresh lemon juice. We're guessing the name came from the drink designer who said something like "That drink brings a smile to my face!"
Adjust the amount of lemon for more or less tartness. You can add some club soda if desired.
Ingredients
1 oz Gin
1 oz Grenadine
Juice from 1/3 of a lemon
Instructions
Add ice to a cocktail shaker
Add all ingredients to the shaker
Shake well for at least 10 seconds
Pour over ice into an Old Fashioned, High Ball or glass of your choice
“The Molar-ita”
The Molar-ita is a refreshing cross between a mojito and a margarita. Feel free to dip the rims of your glasses in salt for a true margarita effect and to make it a mocktail, just skip the tequila and add extra sparkling water.
