Cocktail Number 300! |
GLOOM CHASER
1 measure Grand Marnier
1 measure orange curcao
½ measure lemon juice
¼ measure grenadine
Lemon for garnish
Gloom, doom, dreary, dark and dank. That’s how a lot of us
are feeling today. The weather forecast says no sun in my parts until Saturday.
So until then, I’ll have to help chase the gloom away with a GLOOM CHASER
cocktail.
The list of ingredients — every one of them something good —
were put into a cocktail shaker. I added ice, shook well and strained it into a
short cocktail glass, garnishing with a slice of lemon. After a few sips, I
added ice. This helped to tone the GLOOM CHASER’s strength down a bit, while
also cutting some of the sweet.
Yep, much like the sweetness of the unexpected day off of work
today, the GLOOM CHASER has a sugary taste. But it’s also tangy and savoy, and
just plain yummy. Hubby doesn’t usually like sweet cocktails, but this one
worked for him. We couldn’t really taste the Grand Marnier, but we are sure
that is where the GLOOM CHASER got its nice orange flavor, not to mention the
orange color. It’s a perfect cocktail for Halloween, hurricanes and
hopelessness.
