G. G And G
Shake ∙ 3 min ∙ 26.1% ABV ∙

Tips
- Express the grapefruit twist over the surface before dropping it in, to lift the citrus aroma on the nose.
- Fine-strain into the ice-filled glass so the pulp stays out and the drink runs clear.
- Squeeze the grapefruit juice fresh just before shaking; bottled juice mutes the bright, tart top note.
History
G. G and G is credited to Ago Perrone, head bartender at the Connaught Hotel in London, England. The name reflects its three defining components built around gin, Galliano, and grapefruit.
