Red Dragon

 

What is Red Dragon?

The Red Dragon is a vibrant and flavor-forward gin cocktail that highlights citrus and color. With fresh lemon juice cutting through the botanicals, grenadine adding gentle sweetness and red hue, and blood orange juice delivering depth and complexity, this is a drink that strikes a bold balance. Its tone leans toward versatility - bold yet approachable, suitable for both casual sipping and elevated occasions.

From the first sip, you’ll sense the citrus high notes, followed by the smooth body from gin, and finishing with blood orange richness. It’s a cocktail that wears its color and character proudly, without overreaching.
