The Detroit Daisy cocktail is a refreshing and flavorful drink that has its origins in the city of Detroit, Michigan. This cocktail is a variation of the classic Daisy cocktail, which typically consists of a base spirit (such as gin or whiskey), citrus juice, sweetener, and soda water.
The Detroit Daisy puts a unique twist on this traditional recipe by incorporating two key ingredients: Chartreuse and Angostura bitters. These additions give the drink an herbal complexity and depth of flavor that sets it apart from other cocktails.
To make a Detroit Daisy cocktail, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 oz gin
- 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 oz simple syrup
- 1/4 oz green Chartreuse
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
To prepare the cocktail, simply combine all of the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a lemon twist or cherry for added flair.
The history of the Detroit Daisy cocktail can be traced back to Prohibition-era speakeasies in Detroit, where bartenders experimented with new recipes to satisfy their customers' thirst for creative libations. The combination of gin, Chartreuse, and bitters was likely born out of necessity as bartenders sought to mask the taste of low-quality spirits during this time.
Today, the Detroit Daisy remains popular among craft cocktail enthusiasts who appreciate its bold flavors and historical significance. Whether you're sipping one at your favorite bar or mixing one up at home, this delightful drink is sure to transport you back to an era when creativity reigned supreme behind every bar counter in Motor City.
