6 Gin and Grenadine co*cktails You Have to Try - co*cktails Cafe (2024)

Adding grenadine to drinks keeps them from being too tart but isn’t as overpoweringly sweet as the simple syrup that’s often used to add sweetness to co*cktails. Grenadine is also loved for its deep red color, similar to that of a red wine, that makes for gorgeous co*cktails. Gin is one of the many liquors that can be combined with grenadine for a variety of delicious co*cktail recipes.

The Gin Daisy co*cktail is a classic recipe that all co*cktail connoisseurs should know how to make. You’ll need a martini glass, cherry grenadine, gin, fresh lemon or lime juice, and sparkling water. A co*cktail shaker is recommended to mix all the ingredients except the sparkling water.

Strain and pour the mixture into a chilled martini glass. Then, top it off with sparkling water.

This classic co*cktail is refreshing and delicious every time!

The Gin Sunrise co*cktail is a twist on a traditional tequila sunrise. You’ll need gin, grenadine, lemon juice, and orange juice. A gin sunrise is best served in a highball glass with ice. Garnish with an orange or lemon slice and a co*cktail umbrella to make this co*cktail feel truly tropical.

This co*cktail recipe doesn’t require a co*cktail shaker either. Just add the ingredients to the glass, stir, and enjoy.

Some co*cktail recipes are complex and challenging to follow, but this is one of the simplest gin and grenadine co*cktails to prepare at the last minute.

Gather gin, grenadine, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and club soda. Add everything except the club soda to a co*cktail shaker with ice. Shake until well combined, strain, and pour into a chilled glass.

The recipe recommends using a Collins glass, but any tall tumbler glass will work. Add a slice of fresh pineapple for a garnish and bite-sized snack all in one!

Gin & Sin is another one of the classic co*cktails on our list of favorites. This drink packs a citrus punch with sweet grenadine syrup to create a co*cktail that will become one of your new favorite recipes!

To make a classic Gin and Sin, you need a dry gin, grenadine syrup, orange juice, and lemon juice—fine-strain the ingredients from a co*cktail shaker into a chilled martini glass. Add half an ounce of ice-cold water to chill this drink even more. Garnish with an orange zest twist.

The Pink Gin Fizz is one of the few gin and grenadine co*cktails that have different ingredients to choose from based on your flavor preferences. Depending on how you make the drink, it can be sweeter or more tart. No matter how you follow the recipe, it’s always refreshing!

Start by choosing either pink gin or dry gin. You’ll also need grenadine, fresh lemon juice, and either lemonade or soda water. Using pink gin and lemonade will make the co*cktail sweeter, while dry gin and soda water will be more tart.

Add ice to a co*cktail shaker and shake to mix the ingredients. Use a large gin glass to serve Pink Gin Fizz co*cktails. Add ice and a slice of lemon to the glass, then strain the co*cktail on top and start sipping! Another slice of lemon can be placed on the rim to garnish your co*cktail.

The Pink Lady co*cktail is unique because it calls for an egg white. Of course, you’ll also need dry gin, grenadine, fresh lemon juice, and AppleJack. All the ingredients are added to a shaker for a dry shake. That means you shouldn’t add any ice before shaking.

Once the egg white has combined with the other ingredients, add ice and shake some more. Strain and pour into a chilled co*cktail glass. Traditionally, a brandied cherry is used as a boozy garnish.
