“25”

Johns Notes: unappealing color, probably from pink grapefruit instead of yellow. Calvados astringency and finish dominate but don’t overwhelm. Gin flavor (Beefeater) very subtle, more a balancing factor. May need ¾ oz Grand Marnier vs. ½, or a little more grapefruit juice. Considerable alcohol kick.

1 1/4 oz Calvados

1 1/2 oz gin

3/4 oz grapefruit juice

1/2 oz Van der Hum (South African tangerine liqueur…substitute Grand Marnier?)

Shake and strain.

Serve in a cocktail glass (6.0 oz)
