Fairy Belle Cocktail

Today, December 6th, we chose a 'Fairy Belle Cocktail' from Mr. Boston's Bartender's Guide. It was another very attractive drink as most containing Grenadine are, especially enhanced by our Christmas cocktail glasses, a gift from neighborhood friends last year, who also enjoy the occasional cocktail.

This is the first cocktail I have mixed since August, being on a rigorous diet, which is mostly over now!

It is a very good drink, maybe made better from abstinence. I omitted the egg white from the recipe. For my taste they do not add much.

The recipe (page 79):

1 Egg White (left out)
1 tsp Grenadine
3/4 oz Apricot Brandy (LeRoux)

                                              1 1/2 oz Gin (Seagram's Extra Dry)

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. I garnished with an orange slice.
