Patience Cocktail



The Hannford in Hampton, NH maintains one of the best supermarket produce sections on the seacoast, thanks in large part to my old friend David Archibald.  Today I picked up some nice citrus and a pomegranate.  With the pomegranate I made homemade grenadine, and together with a nice, juicy white grapefruit and some of the better spirits in my cabinet I created this cocktail.

Patience Cocktail

1 1/2 oz. London Dry Gin
1/2 oz. Cointreau
1/4 oz. Homemade Grenadine
1 oz. Fresh Squeezed White Grapefruit Juice

Shake with ice and strain into a chilled coupe.  Garnish with a white grapefruit peel.
