Gin Daisy

Whip up this simple and delicious cocktail this summer.

The original Daisy of the 1870s was a mix of spirit, orange cordial, lemon juice, and soda water. There are a myriad of variations for the Daisy, including alternate base spirits such as gin, brandy, rum, or whiskey. The orange cordial is often replaced with orange curaçao, raspberry syrup, grenadine, maraschino liqueur, orgeat, or even Yellow Chartreuse. However, the classic Gin Daisy has been the most popular choice of Daisy over the last century.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz (60ml) gin
  • ¾ oz (22.5ml) orange liqueur
  • ¾ oz (22.5ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 oz (30ml) soda water

In a cocktail shaker, combine all ingredients.

Add ice and shake for 10 to 12 seconds.

Strain over fresh ice into an old-fashioned glass.

Add a dash of soda water and garnish with a lemon wheel.
