Classic Gin Daisy Cocktail Recipe

The Gin Daisy is essentially a sour just taken to the next level because of the addition of seltzer or soda water. There is a separate version of this cocktail referred to as the “new school” version. It swaps out the orange liqueur for grenadine and simple syrup, making that version slightly more fruit-forward.

How To Make A Gin Daisy Cocktail

To make a Gin Daisy cocktail, simply pour your gin, orange liqueur, and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker. From there, add a handful of ice then shake until ice cold. Strain the chilled mixture from the cocktail shaker into a Collins glass filled with ice, then top off the drink with your desired amount of soda water. Garnish the drink with the lemon peel and enjoy. Cheers.
