Gin Daisy #2

Cocktail Description

This genever-based cocktail glows with citrus brightness and a subtle malt backbone that makes it far more interesting than your average vodka drink.

The Gin Daisy #2 brings together the rich, botanical character of Bols Genever with the orange sophistication of Grand Marnier, balanced by fresh lemon juice and a touch of cane syrup. The result is a drink that tastes bright and refreshing with layers of complexity—think of it as a Collins that went to finishing school. The club soda adds just enough fizz to lift the flavors without drowning them, while seasonal berries bring a pop of color and a hint of sweetness to each sip. It's surprisingly easy to make, requiring nothing more than a good shake and a quick strain, which means you can whip up several for guests without breaking a sweat. This drink shines at early evening gatherings, particularly during warmer months when you want something elegant but not too heavy. Pair it with light appetizers like smoked salmon canapés, goat cheese crostini, or citrus-marinated shrimp—anything that won't compete with the drink's delicate balance of malt, citrus, and orange liqueur.
