Gin Daisy

The Daisy is one of the oldest cocktail templates - spirit, citrus, and a sweetener with character - and grenadine is what distinguishes a Gin Daisy from a simple Gin Sour; don't substitute simple syrup or you'll lose that rosy depth.

From the Bartender

The Daisy is one of the oldest cocktail templates - spirit, citrus, and a sweetener with character - and grenadine is what distinguishes a Gin Daisy from a simple Gin Sour; don't substitute simple syrup or you'll lose that rosy depth. For best results, use a London Dry gin with good botanical presence to stand up to the citrus.
