Jeremy’s Tasting Notes &c.

I found this cocktail on CocktailDB while looking for a drink containing grenadine. Turns out I like this one, and it’s visually appealing, too… a lovely opaque pink color. I use homemade grenadine not as sweet (or as red) as the artificial products in supermarkets, so I use about twice as much as the recipe calls for.

Pink Creole
1.5oz gold rum (I use white rum, all my dark rums are much too dark)
.5oz fresh lime juice
.25oz grenadine
.25oz heavy cream
2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters

Shake over ice and double strain into a chilled cocktail glass. This is definitely a drink where little chips of ice are out of place, thus the secondary strainer.
