#84 Cocktail: Caricature

    When you see the recipe for this cocktail, you think "what the hell is this strange combination of so many liquors and with the grapefruit juice", but trust me, as weird as it looks, this drink is really good. Is not to bitter due to the sweet vermouth and the triple sec which compensate the bitterness of the Campari and the grapefruit juice.
      The cocktail was created by Gaz Regan in 2001 for the graphic artist Jill DeGroff, Dale Deroff's wife, the famous mixologist.

1 1/2 ounce Gin
1/2 ounce sweet vermouth
1/2 ounce fresh grapefruit juice
3/4 ounce triple sec
1\2 Campari

#13 Cocktail: An Apple a Day

 I saw a lot of recipes on the internet for this cocktail, but none of them are using gin. This was adapted by Gary Regan from a recipe by Audrey Saunders, New York's Liberation Goddess and, as Gaz Regan says "is a complex potion that should be made with the exact quantities"

1 ounce Gordon's gin
1 ounce Sour Apple Pucker liqueur
3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup
1/4 ounce maraschino liqueur
1/2 ounce fresh grapefruit juice
