Columbia Cocktail
The Columbia Cocktail is a classic cocktail that combines the smoothness of brandy with the sharpness of lime juice and the sweetness of grenadine. It is a refreshing and well-balanced drink that is perfect for any occasion.
To make a Columbia Cocktail, you will need a few simple ingredients and some basic bartending skills. First, gather your ingredients: brandy, lime juice, grenadine, and ice. It's important to use a good quality brandy for this cocktail as it is a main ingredient and will greatly affect the overall taste.
Next, fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add 2 ounces of brandy, 1 ounce of lime juice, and 1/2 ounce of grenadine to the shaker. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to properly blend the flavors and chill the cocktail.
Once the cocktail is properly shaken, strain it into a chilled cocktail glass. You may garnish the drink with a lime wheel or a cherry if desired. Serve the Columbia Cocktail immediately and enjoy!
