The hint of grenadine provides a visual and taste finale, offering a smooth and colorful transition from top to bottom. Ingredients: 1 oz apple brandy 1/2 oz apricot brandy 1/2 oz gin 1 oz freshly squeezed orange juice 1 tsp grenadine Dash of orange bitters Fresh mint sprig for garnish Instructions: Combine apple brandy, apricot brandy, gin, orange juice, and a dash of orange bitters in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain the mixture into an Old Fashioned glass filled with fresh ice. Carefully pour the grenadine in the middle of the drink so it gently settles at the bottom, creating a gradient effect. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig for a pop of color and aroma.
