Well, the first thing I have to say about this cocktail is that if drinking it makes me lady like then lady like I shall be.\u00c2\u00a0 The Pink Lady is another example of a tremendously tasty pink cocktail.\u00c2\u00a0 The pink color is quite light, somewhat akin to Pepto.\u00c2\u00a0 Thankfully the aroma and flavor don’t follow suit.\u00c2\u00a0 In the smell you’ll find a very pleasant hit of citrus and the gin peaking through lightly.\u00c2\u00a0 The flavor is a great balance of sweet and sour.\u00c2\u00a0 Interestingly the applejack doesn’t shine very strongly, but it’s flavor is missed if you remove it.<\/p>\n

I sampled a few different recipes and found them to be very similar.\u00c2\u00a0 One interesting difference I encountered was the recipe in Diffords Guide #7<\/a>\"\".\u00c2\u00a0 This variant calls for more grenadine (1\/2 oz) drops the lemon juice down (1\/2 oz) and says the applejack (or apple brandy in this case) is optional.\u00c2\u00a0 I found this combination less balanced.\u00c2\u00a0 The drink was noticeably sweeter.\u00c2\u00a0 The other interesting twist that I found in my brief search was the recipe in The Savoy Cocktail Book<\/a>\"\".\u00c2\u00a0 This recipe called for only grenadine, gin and egg white.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t think this version sounds particularly tasty without the lemon juice sourness.\u00c2\u00a0 Erik Ellestad over at Underhill Lounge<\/a> actually gave the Savoy recipe<\/a> a mix and found what I expected to be true.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s not a good combo.<\/p>\n

If you’re going to mix up a Pink Lady go with the recipe<\/a> from The Essential Bartender’s Guide<\/a>\"\".\u00c2\u00a0 If you go this route you definitely won’t be disappointed.\u00c2\u00a0 Naturally you’ll use fresh juice and good grenadine<\/a>, so I’ll only mention those briefly.\u00c2\u00a0 Enjoy your drinks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
