The Southern Pink Lady Cocktail
Ingredients:
3 Jiggers Gin (I recommend using Hendrick's Gin)
1 1/2 Jiggers Heavy Cream
1 Jigger Applejack
1 Teaspoon Grenadine (Jack Rudy Cocktail's Grenadine works the best)
Handful of ice
Directions:
Pour all of your ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake thoroughly.
Once shaken, strain the cocktail into your glasses.
Serve your beautiful frothy cocktail and enjoy.
Optional: I love to serve mine with a ripe, sliced strawberry over the rim for some color. Add some edible glitter if you are feeling extra flirty & fun. :)
