Red Cloud Cocktail

I'm back!  The blood thinner regimen is over at last, hip replacement an apparent success, and my desire for a cocktail is about to be granted. Life is good (or at least getting better).

A neighbor gave us a set of Auburn dinner plates, so we'll celebrate their good fortune this year by putting them in the picture. Hopefully, they'll show up big time in the SEC championship game.

The cocktail for tonight is a 'Red Cloud Cocktail'  It was a quite good.  We'll have this one again.  The recipe (page no. 145 from our Bartender's Guide):

1 1/2 oz Gin (Booth's)
1/2 oz Apricot Brandy (LeRoux)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (fresh Meyer)
1 teaspoon Grenadine

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass.
(I chose to garnish the drink with a slice of orange and 2 cherries.)

Again this was very good.

Salud. Until tomorrow and it's good to be back.
