Maiden's Blush Cocktail Recipe

The Maiden's Blush is a classic cocktail that has a delicate and refreshing flavor. It is the perfect drink for those who enjoy a light and fruity beverage. The cocktail gets its name from its light pink hue, resembling the blush of a young maiden.

To make the Maiden's Blush, start by filling a cocktail shaker with ice. Add a shot of gin, a shot of apple brandy, and a shot of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Shake the ingredients together until well combined and chilled.

Next, strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. Slowly pour in a splash of grenadine syrup, which will give the drink its signature blush color. The grenadine will sink to the bottom of the glass, creating a beautiful layered effect.

Finally, garnish the Maiden's Blush with a lemon twist or a cherry, and serve immediately. This cocktail is best enjoyed on a warm summer evening or as a refreshing aperitif before a meal.
