Description
The Moulin Rouge is a classic cocktail that captures the elegance and flair of the famous Parisian cabaret. Its deep red color, thanks to the grenadine, is a real eye-catcher. The drink is a wonderfully balanced sour that combines the botanical notes of gin with the sweet fruitiness of apricot brandy. A splash of lemon juice provides the necessary freshness and prevents the cocktail from becoming too sweet. A timeless and stylish aperitif.
Preparation
- Pre-chill a coupe glass with ice.
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake vigorously until the shaker is ice-cold.
- Strain the contents through a fine sieve into the chilled glass.
- Garnish with a lemon peel.
