Tips and Variations:
- This recipe uses grenadine syrup only for giving it a dark orange color, you can avoid it if you want to.
- Original orange blossom cocktail recipe does not use lime juice. However this recipe uses it to bring subtle tartness to cocktail. If juice you are using is sweet and tart then you can avoid it.
- You can also serve this cocktail on the rocks. Serve it in ice filled rocks glass.
- When 30 ml (1 oz) Gin and 30 ml (1 oz) orange juice are shaken with ice and served in shot glass, it makes an orange blossom shot.
