The Art of Mixology: The Jersey Girl Cocktail
To craft the Jersey Girl cocktail:
- Gather Laird’s Blended Applejack, Cointreau or Triple Sec, lime juice, and cranberry juice.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 1.5 ounces of Laird’s Blended Applejack, 1 ounce of Cointreau or Triple Sec, half an ounce of lime juice, and 1 ounce of cranberry juice.
- Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds, then strain into a chilled coupe glass
For the finishing touch, garnish your creation with a slice of lime, adding a pop of color and a hint of freshness to the cocktail. With each sip, you’ll taste the history and craftsmanship that have been at the heart of Laird & Company for over two centuries.
Here, the vibrant Jersey Girl cocktail comes to life as our skilled bartender pours the blend of Laird’s Blended Applejack, Cointreau, lime juice, and cranberry juice into a coupe glass.
