Almond Shirley Cocktail
The almond Shirley cocktail has a balanced and bright taste, with a superb flavour profile from its key ingredients. The use of grenadine is especially noticeable, infusing the drink with a visually beautiful, appealing red hue that complements its spirited character. Best consumed chilled, it is often served in a highball glass garnished with a lemon wedge, adding to its fruity appeal.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Ensure that the ingredients are pre-chilled in the refrigerator, allowing for less ice usage, preserving flavour assertiveness and reducing dilution.
Serving Tip 1
Instead of a lime wedge, use a long, thin ribbon peel from fresh lime. Twist it hard over the drink to release its essential oils, then drop it in or hang it from the edge of the glass.
