Chill the Glass: Begin by chilling your cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add the gin, apple brandy, fresh lemon juice, grenadine, and simple syrup.

Add Ice: Fill the shaker with ice cubes, enough to chill the mixture thoroughly.

Shake: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. You want the mixture to be well-chilled and frothy.

Strain: Discard the ice water from your cocktail glass and strain the mixture into the glass.

Garnish: Add a lemon twist or a cherry on top for a decorative touch.

Serve: Enjoy your Pink Lady cocktail immediately.

Variations

Non-Alcoholic Version: Replace the gin and apple brandy with sparkling apple juice or non-alcoholic gin alternatives and adjust the grenadine to taste.

Berry Twist: Add a few muddled raspberries or strawberries to the shaker for a fruity twist.

Herbal Touch: Infuse the gin with herbs like rosemary or basil for an earthy flavor.
