Golden Dawn

Golden Dawn

Ingredients:
20ml Whitley Neill Gin
20ml De Kuyper Apricot Brandy Liqueur
20ml Calvados Boulard Grande Solage Pays D'Auge
20ml Fresh Orange Juice
2ml Giffard Grenadine Syrup
Add all the ingredients except the grenadine into a cocktail shaker with ice. SHAKE vigorously. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add a dash of grenadine. This gives the effect of a glorious sunshine, hence the name "Golden Dawn".

This pre-dinner cocktail won the International Cocktail Competition in London in 1930. Nine years later, Walter A. Madigan made a Golden Dawn without the Calvados and was runner-up at the International Cocktail Championship of the World in London in 1939. He should have stuck to the original recipe!
