Drinks on Me: Golden Dawn (Alcoholic)

[ 0 ] May 12, 2009 | Johnna

Golden Dawn

3/4 oz. gin
3/4 oz. Calvados
3/4 oz. apricot brandy
3/4 oz. mango juice
Ice
Grenadine (Dash)

Combine first four ingredients over ice; strain into a serving glass and slowly add in a dash of grenadine. Serve.

*Johnna’s tip: We had never ordered one of these, but we figured it is a sure shot way to get some strong alcohol in one glass with a fruity taste. Where can one go wrong with anything that has mango’s in it?? Especially during the warmer months of the year?? Pull out your best martini glasses and Enjoy!
