This pre-Prohibition cocktail is a gin-based classic that blends apricot brandy, French vermouth, grenadine and a dash of fresh lemon juice together for a clear winner.

Ingredients

1-1/2 ounces gin
3/4 ounce apricot brandy
3/4 ounce French (dry) vermouth
2 dashes grenadine
dash lemon juice

Directions

Put a cocktail glass in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill.
Place the gin, apricot brandy, vermouth, grenadine and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Vigorously shake the mixture to combine for 35 seconds, and then strain into the chilled glass; serve immediately.
