Friday Cocktail - Golden Dawn

Amazon.com: Classic Cocktails: Books: Salvatore Calabrese

I just bought this new book of Classic Cocktails by Salvatore Calabrese. It is gorgeous with a nice mix of cocktail history, trivia and recipes. It's also nicely illustrated with vintage ads and photos. This is where I found the Golden Dawn, winner of the International Cocktail Competition in London in 1930.

equal parts:
-gin
-apricot brandy
-Calvados
-orange juce

Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail glass and add a dash of grenadine to produce "the effect of a glorious sunrise."

Cheers!
