Home Bar: Blood Royal

As promised, a cocktail recipe featuring the home grenadine.



This recipe is for two cocktails, but can be halved for those of you sad individuals who prefer to drink alone––but in that case, why not make both anyway? What else were you going to do with your evening?


"Blood Royal"
YOU WILL REQUIRE:
A shaker (Boston if you're a pro).

IT INCLUDES:
The juice of 1 lemon (~2 ounces).
The white of 1 egg.
~4 dashes Angostura (Feel free to get creative here).
2 ounces of home grenadine (less if you prefer).
3 ounces of dry gin.

Shake enthusiastically to create an attractive foam. Strain into up glasses and garnish with lemon peel.

The beverage is, essentially, a gin fizz that I modeled on the Fitzgerald, replacing simple syrup with grenadine and adding egg white to give the drink body. Now, go body the drink.
