American Beauty

Take 1 tbsp Orange Juice, 1 tbsp Grenadine, 1/2 oz Dry Vermouth, 1/2 oz Brandy, 1/4 tsp Creme de Menthe (White), shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Top it off with a dash of port. Per our previous post, we substituted Creme de Menthe (Green).

This drink has a muted red brick look. It tastes much better. We are both of the opinion that brandy makes some fine mixed drinks.

Shannon: "It's a tasty bugger." She was not expecting mint to mix well with these ingredients, but she admits to being wrong. She wouldn't want to drink a tall glass of this, but in the smaller cocktail size it is quite good.
