Cocktail No 39 Basil's Cooler (Non-alcoholic).

A request from one of the old school for a new cocktail which is non-alcoholic.

Its a variation on the Orange Cooler, substituting grenadine in place of sugar for sweetness and giving it that sunrise look. The combination of Orange Juice with Ginger Ale is not an obvious one, but it works really well. It does need the extra sweetness otherwise it could be a bit tart.

Recipe

Add Orange Juice to taste in a tall glass, with half as much Grenadine syrup. A dash of Peychaud's Bitters to give the merest hint of aniseed. Stir, then add ice to taste.
