Not to be naming names, but the name of a person, who's
wren08 -sounding name I won't mention,, decided to 'name' the new drink.. (Drink may have been created before. I'm too lazy to look it up right now.. (5 min) Okay, I looked it up..)
The bird's word clamped it's talons into my horrible attempts to name a 'stand alone drink'.. Good thing, too. We thought of and agreed, that Gin and Grand Marnier is worth the risk of combining alone. If not, with some lime/lemon.. No matter. It works! With or without extras. And, I hate gin..
She says it is like Fruit Cake. Indeed, but higher on the alcohol percentage than cake, yes? (Not 'till I make it.. Heh, heh.)
Well, there are several cocktails with use of gin and GM, such as Dark Whiskers, A Bartender, La Guera, English Breakfast Cocktail, a Red Li- oh.. The Red Lion..
Red Lion is as I described. Gin, Grand Marnier, and lemon,, but with orange juice.. Does that not seem a little redundant? "Hey. Barkeep! Gimme a highball of some Triple Sec, Grand Marnier, Curacao, Prunier,,, and a splash of orange juice." I'll add a Mandarin to their head, happily...
The W'ren is w'right....
Gin + Orange liqueur (w/ maybe a splash of citrus) is hereby christened the/an *Orange Tank *.
