Cocktail Description

Imagine a martini that brilliantly combines the botanical complexity of gin with the bright, sunny character of pink grapefruit—the Seventh Heaven delivers exactly that delightful contradiction.

This sophisticated cocktail balances the juniper-forward notes of Beefeater London Dry Gin with the subtle cherry sweetness of Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, while fresh pink grapefruit juice adds a vibrant citrus punch and gorgeous blush color. The mint garnish contributes an aromatic finishing touch that complements the gin's herbaceous qualities. Perfect for springtime gatherings or summer evenings on the patio, this cocktail offers a refreshing alternative to classic martini recipes without sacrificing elegance. It's surprisingly simple to make despite its complex flavor profile—just shake, strain, and serve. Try pairing this bright, citrusy cocktail with seafood dishes like grilled shrimp or seared scallops, where its acidity cuts through richness beautifully, or alongside a cheese board featuring creamy goat cheese and salty manchego.
