Red Lion Cocktail Recipe
Red Lion gin cocktail.
The classic original version of this sophisticated gin cocktail
When it comes to elegant gin cocktails, the Red Lion is definitely one to consider. The Red Lion serves up a well-balanced fruit-inspired flavor profile, while still maintaining the more refined elegance of the drink.
The Red Lion is a spirit-forward gin drinker's cocktail.

1/4 oz lemon juice
Shake the ingredients with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
The Red Lion cocktail.
An orange twirl or lemon twist is optional for garnish. You can also rim the glass with fine sugar, as is sometimes done with a Red Lion, if you like rimmed cocktails. If you do choose to rim this cocktail, I recommend a half rim to give your guests the option of not having to sip through sugar if they don't want to.
