1 1/2 part Ruby Red Grapefruit juice

½ part simple syrup
1 peach slice

Shake well until the outside of the shaker is frosted and beaded with sweat.

GREY GOOSE® L’ORANGE BUONASOLA

1 part GREY GOOSE® L’Orange Flavored Vodka
3/4 part limoncello
3/4 part NOILLY PRAT® Rouge Vermouth
1 tsp superfine sugar
3 parts orange juice

INSTRUCTIONS
Fill cocktail shaker with ice, and add all ingredients. Shake vigorously, and strain into a highball glass filled with ice. Present with an orange slice.
Create a garnish - by coating fresh orange slices in superfine sugar.

SHISO SANGRIA

1 1/2 parts GREY GOOSE® L’Orange Flavored Vodka
1 part plum wine
1/2 lime, cut into wedges
3/4 part simple syrup
1/4 plum, diced
4-6 shiso leaves (cilantro may be substituted)

In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, place plums, shiso leaves, lime and simple syrup.
Muddle well. Add ice and remaining ingredients, and shake vigorously. Strain into a
rocks glass, and present with a plum slice and shiso leaf.

This colorful, delicious cocktail owes its unique taste to shiso, a Japanese herb with
a peppery taste. Find it at a Japanese market, and consider using it in simple dishes
to create a perfect pairing for this cocktail. Add it to pastas or salads, and use it as
you would basil or parsley.
