mayevenyou:So falls Gondolin, greatest and flounciest of Elf cities. But I’m bored of tragedy, so will instead be celebrating Glorfindel, whose grave is covered in golden flowers. This cocktail is based on the Golden Dawn - a cocktail that won awards in the 20s and 30s but which now, like Gondolin, is secret and lost. It’s sweet, fruity, and just a little bit OTT - perfect for the secret, golden warrior elves of Middle EarthGLORFINDEL COCKTAIL (Serves One)0.5 shot gin0.5 shot calvados (An unsweetened apple liqueur - use more gin if you don’t have any, rather than apple sours or anything like that.)0.5 shot Apricot Brandy 0.5 shot fresh squeezed Orange Juice Dash grenadineMix the first four ingredients over lots of ice. Pour into a glass, then slowly add a teaspoon of grenadine to the bottom for the “Dawn” effect. Drink, and remember that the true hope of the Noldor lieth in the West, and cometh from the Sea.Photo Credit: http://www.utahmixologist.com/2012/01/golden-dawn-cocktail-will-make-your-day.html -- source link
