Red Lion (again)

I found this recipe on diffordsguide.com.

gin, Grand Marnier, orange juice, lemon juice

You get to the end of the year and you start reflecting on all kinds of things, right? 2020 is sure giving us a lot of terrible shit to think about. But on the positive side, I started this project. And it has been great fun, and kept me really busy and learning.

In reflecting on the Drinky-Drink Project, I realize that there are drinks I tried early on (the project started in April) that are kind of a blur now. There are some classics I want to try again (Martini, Manhattan), and others like this one. After I tasted the Red Lion in May, I called it My Favorite Cocktail, and I wanted to see if that would hold up. Especially since early on I wasn’t making my own syrups and juicing fresh for each drink. When I tried this back in May I was using oj from a carton and ReaLemon juice from a bottle.

And, yep! It holds up! I don’t think I’d call it my favorite anymore, it leans a little sweet for me now. But it is delicious. Now I want to try a Tuxedo No. 2 again, another one I called a favorite that I know isn’t as sweet.
