The Gin Daisy is a classic cocktail belonging to the Daisy family of drinks, combining gin with lemon juice, sugar, and grenadine shaken and poured into an old-fashioned glass over ice, garnished with cherry and orange. The Daisy formula — spirit, citrus, sweetener, and grenadine — produces a bright, coral-hued drink that balances the gin's botanicals against sweet and sour elements. It is one of the original cocktail family templates.
History & Origins
The Daisy cocktail family dates to the 19th century and is documented in Jerry Thomas's 1876 bartending guide 'The Bar-Tender's Guide.' The original recipe used yellow chartreuse as the sweetener; grenadine became the standard adaptation in the 20th century. The Margarita is widely believed to have evolved from the Tequila Daisy, illustrating the template's lasting influence.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: juniper and gin botanicals with bright lemon citrus and a sweet pomegranate-cherry note from the grenadine. Palate: tart and citrus-forward with lemon acidity balanced by the grenadine's sweetness and the gin's herbal complexity. Finish: dry, slightly sweet, and botanical with lingering citrus and a cherry note.
Pro Tip
Shake vigorously to fully integrate the grenadine with the lemon juice, as grenadine has a tendency to settle — and garnish with both the cherry and orange slice as specified for the traditional presentation.
