I'm going to show you how to make a cocktail called a Red Cloud. We're going to start off
with our ice. We're going to pour this into our glass. I really like to rinse my ice first
so that it doesn't taste like something funky from the freezer, so just pour some water
over your ice, then strain it upside down over the kitchen sink and your cocktail will
taste really, really, really, a lot better. OK, then we're going to add in one and a half
ounces of gin. Any gin will do. So just pick your favorite and that is what you should
use because you're drinking this. Then we're going to add a half ounce of apricot brandy.
Fabulous. Then we're going to add just a tablespoon of lemon juice and I'm just going to give
it a squeeze here, that's about a tablespoon. And a teaspoon of grenadine, so that's just
a real quick splash. Too much of that and it's going to get really sweet. The grenadine's
going to give it a nice red flavor though, hence the name. Shake it up and you're going
to strain it into a cocktail glass, just like so. This looks more like a pink cloud but
if you add more grenadine you will have a Red Cloud. Cheers.
