Step into the vibrant spotlight with the Belle by the Horns, a sophisticated take on a classic cranberry-citrus blend. Crafted with the bold smoothness of Belle Isle Moonshine, this drink balances tart grapefruit juice and sweet cranberry with a subtle hint of orange liqueur complexity from Grand Marnier. It’s the perfect bright, refreshing cocktail served in a chic coupe, promising a crisp flavor profile that is both invigorating and utterly delicious.
Prep: Gather all ingredients—Belle Isle Moonshine, grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, and Grand Marnier. Pre-chill your coupe glass and prepare a fresh, wide orange peel for the garnish.
Mix: Combine the Belle Isle Moonshine, grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, and Grand Marnier directly into a cocktail shaker.
Shake: Fill the shaker three-quarters full with fresh ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously until the shaker is well-chilled and a light frost appears on the exterior.
Serve: Double-strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the pre-chilled coupe glass to ensure a silky, ice-chip-free texture.
Garnish: Express the oils from the prepared orange twist over the drink’s surface and drop the twist into the cocktail or drape it elegantly over the rim.
