Paradise Cocktail or Martini - Fine Art Bartending

Paradise Cocktail or Martini

paradise cocktail as martini with peach garnishThe Paradise cocktail is one of the not so known classic cocktails that has long been a favourite of many of us. Where the classic Martini is dry, the Paradise is sweet and fruity, a really nice accompaniment to summer evening dinners. Make sure you use fresh squeezed orange juice to complement the gin in the drink. As for the gin, a London dry gin like Beefeater is perfect.

Who Invented The Paradise Cocktail

The Paradise Cocktail was invented by Harry Craddock and it is a pure classic. This cocktail has absolutely classic composition – gin as main alcohol, apricot brandy (actually is not a brandy, it is sweet fruit liqueur) as sweetener and freshly squeezed orange juice as compliment.

How to Prepare The Paradise Cocktail

Add ice to your cocktail shaker, along with the following:

  1. 1.5 ounces gin
  2. 0.25 ounces of apricot brandy
  3. 1.25 ounces orange juice
  4. Shake for a 10 count
