A lovely, smooth cocktail for gin lovers with citrus flavours for the added pizzaz....grenadine for that hint of sweetness and the appetizing pink. Serve in stylish cocktail glasses and watch your friends go pink and cheerful with this one....cheers to the happy hours!

What you need:

40 ml Bombay Sapphire or any other gin 
20 ml Cointreau 
15 ml Lemon juice 
10 ml Grenadine
Ice cubes

Shake up all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Don't forget to wear a smile as you're doing it... strain into a chilled, sugar-frosted cocktail glass and serve.

• To chill a cocktail glass, fill it half way up with ice cubes and top with water. Discard water and ice before straining the drink into the glass.
• To frost the glass, rub the rim with a wedge of lemon dipped in grenadine and invert onto a plate of sugar to coat the rim.
