Gin Daddy

Here’s a great cocktail to slip into Dad’s hand while he’s grilling this Sunday – The Gin Daddy.  There’s lemon with hints of Rosemary that play off the gin along with a sneaky shot of limoncello.  This one is also a Teroforma exclusive!  When we made this one the other day the entire studio smelled of lemon and rosemary.

Gin Daddy
1.5 oz your favorite gin
1/4 lemon juice
1/2 oz limoncello
1 tsp. honey
seltzer

Rimmer & Garnish
sugar
rosemary sprigs
rind of one lemon

Prep the rimmer
Strip a 5″ piece of rosemary 3/4 of the way – save the stripped stem for stirrer
finely chop the rosemary
pour 1/4 cup sugar on a plate and mix with lemon rind and rosemary
wet rim of glass with lemon rind and dip in sugar mixture – voila!

In a cocktail shaker mix all ingredients except for seltzer
Shake for 20 seconds and pour over lots of ice and top off with seltzer
Garnish with rosemary twig

This is a cocktail where the aroma of the rosemary is just as important as the taste of the lemon.

We think the Gin Daddy pairs nicely with:

the Brandy Glass
Avva Serving Boards
Pure Linen

    Incredible combination of flavors! We just bottled our homemade limoncello and the rosemary is growing out back, so we have everything we need to make these. Thank you for sharing it!
