History

With good crushed ice, this is a serious gin cocktail. Botanicals, herbal liqueur, and grenadine give this classic an almost rose-like flavour. Soda can be added to the shaker before straining, but crushed ice mitigates the need for this.

The gin daisy has its origins in the late-1800s, with the earliest known recipe appearing in Jerry Thomas' 1876 publication, The Bar-Tender's Guide.
