The variation of the Brandy Daisy from 1876:
- ¾ Ounces Curacao liqueur
- ¾ Ounces Gum syrup
- ¾ Ounces Fresh lemon juice
- ¾ Ounces Jamaica rum
- 1 ½ Ounces Brandy
- Splash of seltzer or club soda
Modern variation of the Brandy Daisy recipe:
- 1 ½ Ounces Brandy
- ¾ Ounces Yellow Chartreuse
- ¾ Ounces Fresh lemon juice
- Splash of seltzer or club soda
The directions are the same regardless of which variation you choose to make:
Add one scoop of cracked ice to a cocktail shaker.
Pour in all ingredients.
Shake and strain into a cocktail glass.
Pour in sparkling water or seltzer to fill the glass.
Add a lemon twist for garnish.
Regardless of which recipe you choose, adding in a quality spirit will always make for a better tasting drink.
Feel free to substitute bourbon or gin for the brandy.
