Day 304, Cocktail 306
Wednesday’s cocktail was less than spectacular, so this will be a relatively short post.
Blinker
- 1-1/2 oz rye
- 1 oz grapefruit juice
- 1/4 oz grenadine
Combine in a shaker with ice to mix and chill. Strain into a chilled coupe.
I have to admit that this cocktail just did not hit the spot. The initial flavor was odd – the rye came through and it was very tart and almost tasted like there was lime in it, although there is none. It was very disjointed and never did come together in the glass. I suspect that a bit grenadine or bar syrup and perhaps a dash of Peychaud’s might help, but I didn’t the time Wednesday to fool around with it. Maybe another day!
Cheers!

Oh I like the idea of grapefruit juice and grenadine….good way to cut the edge off the tang. Sounds great!
