Embrace the vibrant spirit of a seaside getaway with the Coastal Cooler. This impeccably balanced, refreshing gin cocktail blends the herbaceous complexity of Caiseal Gin from Virginia spirits with the bright, tangy essence of fresh orange and grapefruit juices. A touch of homemade ginger syrup and sour mix provides a perfect, invigorating counterpoint. It’s an ideal, citrus-forward sipper, designed for those who appreciate a sophisticated, easy-to-make mixed drink.
Prep: the glassware by chilling a highball or rocks glass with ice, and gather all spirit and mixer ingredients.
Mix: the Caiseal Gin, orange juice, grapefruit juice, ginger syrup, and sour mix into a cocktail shaker without ice.
Shake: the ingredients vigorously with ice until the shaker is thoroughly chilled and a light frost appears on the exterior.
Serve: the mixture by double-straining the cold liquid over fresh ice into the prepared glass.
Garnish: the drink with the bright, aromatic oils of an expressed orange peel and a fresh lime wedge placed on the rim.
