Gin Rose Cocktail
If you like orange and cherry flavours then this drink might be for you with the orange from the triple sec and cherry flavour from the grenadine (actually pomegranate) makes a sweet and fruity cocktail.
Equipment
- Rocks glass (old fashioned glass)
- Jigger or measuring cup
- Bar spoon
- Large ice cube tray
Ingredients
- 1½ fl oz Gin
- 1½ fl oz Triple Sec
- 3 fl oz Club Soda (soda water)
- 1 tsp Grenadine
- 1 each Maraschino Cherry garnish
- as needed cubes Ice cubes
Instructions
- Fill a rocks glass with ice cubes. Pour in 1½ fl oz (45ml) gin and 1½ fl oz (45ml) triple sec.
- Top with 3 fl oz (90ml) club soda and gently stir with a bar spoon for 5 seconds to combine.
- Slowly pour 1 teaspoon (5ml) grenadine over the back of a bar spoon so it sinks to the bottom, creating the signature rose gradient.
- Drop a Maraschino cherry into the glass to garnish. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Storage: This cocktail should be served immediately after making — the club soda will go flat if left to sit. Pre-measure the gin and triple sec into a sealed jar up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate, then pour over ice and top with soda when ready to serve.
- Make-ahead for parties: Multiply the gin and triple sec portions and combine in a pitcher. Keep chilled. Pour individual servings over ice, top with club soda, and add grenadine to order.
- Substitutions: Swap triple sec for Cointreau for a more refined orange flavour, or use lemon-lime soda instead of club soda for extra sweetness. For a non-alcoholic version, use Seedlip Grove 42 and an orange liqueur syrup.
- Pro tip: Pour the grenadine slowly over the back of a bar spoon so it sinks to the bottom and creates the signature layered rose gradient. Don't stir after adding it — let guests admire the effect first.
- Ice matters: Use large ice cubes or a single large rock to slow dilution and keep the drink colder for longer.
