PARK AVENUE
1½ measures gin
½ measure cherry
brandy
¼ measure maraschino
cherry juice
I had to
go back to reality today after a long, fun holiday weekend. Luckily, I could
use my daily cocktail to escape to Park Avenue in New York City. That is the
classy part of midtown Manhattan, where the big corporate skyscrapers reside
and a condo will cost you $25 million or more. A PARK AVENUE cocktail will only
cost you about $5 to make. You just need gin, cherry brandy and maraschino
cherry juice. To make the cocktail, put those three into a cocktail shaker, add
ice, shake and strain into a
small martini glass.
My initial reaction
to the PARK AVENUE cocktail was to “oh” and “ah” at its pretty lilac color. It certainly
made a statement and made me feel all “upper East-side” classy as I swirled the
mixture in my martini glass. The cocktail’s taste was very potent, and it’s not
for someone who doesn’t want to taste their liquor. But it also had a nice,
smooth, and subtle flavor as well. It was overflowing
with the aroma of cherries from the brandy and juice, and you could barely
detect the gin. Make one soon. It will have you singing “Darling, I love you,
but give me Park Avenue!”
