When life - and cocktails - imitates art, great things happen! Like this bittersweet grapefruit gin cocktail

Each bottle of Romeo’s Gin, the Craft Gin Club Gin of the Month for May ‘19, is emblazoned with a stunning work of art from one of five Montreal artists. This cocktail recipe is named after one of those artists, Sandra Chevrier; as with the bittersweet nature of her work, this drink combines the tartness of grapefruit with the syrupy kiss of cocktail cherries.

In an Old Fashioned glass, combine the pink grapefruit, simple syrup and bitters. Muddle well. Add the gin and a large ice cube. Mix gently with a long spoon. Garnish with the cocktail cherry and grapefruit zest.
