Rosy Dawn

Rosy Dawn

We picked up a bottle of BG Reynolds’ lime cordial, and it was so much better than the usual Rose’s Lime that we immediately went off hunting for new recipes to showcase the stuff.

Enter the Rosy Dawn, a lovely little number from Charles H. Baker in his book Jigger, Beaker and Glass: Drinking Around the World. It’s a simple template, but with a really good lime cordial it’s a gorgeous little gem of sweet-tart fruit flavors.

The cherry brandy you use should be thick and syrupy, like Cherry Herring – not dry and clear like kirsch. Since the Rosy Dawn only has a little sweetener in the form of the lime cordial, the orange curaçao should be fairly sweet too – Grand Marnier is a classic option.

Terrific Design!

Absolutely love this app. Gives a great visual representation of the ingredients and the user interface is well designed. Been using it to learn how to make cocktails, the descriptions are great about the drinks. As a novice barman, I love that I am learning the origin of the drink and alternative ways to make the drink. Be prepared to have a wide range of alcohol at you disposal! I can make heaps of drinks with the decent home collection I have, but seeing all the recipes what I could make gets me excited! Highly recommended, everyone loves the person who makes excellent drinks!
