I’m so excited for today’s cocktail. This is how I (Big Bad Mandy) drink! Dark and broody but sippable and something that transports you. I want to savor this cocktail. Sip and stare at it. A gin and orange cocktail that has a story, you can taste it. I wonder if this is how Polo players drink or an English Aristocrat (only by title and runs his family’s estate, but is the best bloke you’ve ever met).

I’m calling it The Dark Horse. It’s a deeply rich gin and orange cocktail thta should be drunk in a cozy cottage in the English countryside by the fireplace….OR by a tall chick in Atlanta on her back porch. LOVING IT! We’ll just pretend we’re somewhere else… it transports you, it’s that good.

THE DARK HORSE (GREAT GIN, ORANGE, DRY CURACAO, DEEP BITTER LIQUEUR & GOOD TONIC)
