Gin and citrus are an ideal cocktail pairing. So many of the classics…gimlets, french 75’s and even the standard gin and tonic rely on, at least a squeeze of citrus, before complete.
This cocktail plays in that arena, but, adds a little extra depth with the addition of a grapefruit amaro. Cheers, friends, and enjoy!
