Paradise

Description

In comparison to a dry gin martini, the paradise is sweet and fruity, making it an ideal aperitif for modern drinkers, and serves as a great prelude to summer dinners. In the early days of the cocktail, gin and apricot brandy were quite common combinations. It's a pleasant combination because the brandy adds a sweet fruit contrast to the gin's botanical flavoring and the orange juice complements both of those by adding a citrus touch that is very enjoyable.
