The Garnet

I’ve mined the cocktail history books to unearth another garnet for this garnet puzzle.  The Garnet cocktail is found all the way back in the 2012 Mr. Boston’s Official Bartender’s Guide.  Not exactly ancient, but kind of perfect nonetheless.  The drink, which combines gin with orange liqueur, pomegranate and grapefruit, is light, refreshing, sweet, and shiny - just the thing for the start of something extraordinary.  Cheers!

The Garnet from Mr. Boston’s Guide 2012

1 ½ oz Gin

¾ oz orange liqueur

¾ oz pomegranate juice

¾ oz grapefruit juice

Shake ingredients together over ice and strain into a favorite glass.  Flame an orange peel over the drink and garnish with a cocktail ring.  Enjoy while providing your companions with your two cents.
