Description
The Brandy Daisy cocktail harks back to the golden age of mixology, offering a classic blend of brandy, rum, lemon juice, and a splash of orange liqueur for sweetness.

Notes
The term “Daisy” in cocktail terminology traditionally refers to a family of drinks that combine spirit, citrus, and a sweetener, often served over ice with a fruit garnish.
The Brandy Daisy distinguishes itself by using brandy as the base spirit, offering a deeper flavour profile that pairs beautifully with the tartness of lemon and the sweetness of grenadine.
