American Beauty

Bright, slightly sweet and citrus-forward with a warm brandy backbone and a whisper of mint; orange juice and grenadine give jammy fruitiness while the tawny port float adds a rich, raisiny finish. Visually it's a pale orange shaken cocktail crowned by a dark port layer, making it an attractive, easy-to-drink after-dinner sipper with a touch of complexity.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Brandy
  • 0.5 oz Dry Vermouth
  • 0.25 tsp Crème de Menthe Blanche Liqueur
  • 1 oz Orange Juice
  • 1 tsp Grenadine
  • 0.5 oz Tawny Port

Instructions

  1. Fill a shaker halfway with ice cubes.
  2. Add the brandy, dry vermouth, white creme de menthe, orange juice, and grenadine to the shaker.
  3. Shake the mixture vigorously until well chilled.
  4. Strain the cocktail into a chilled cocktail glass.
  5. Slowly pour the tawny port over the back of a spoon to float it on top of the drink.
