Cocktail author: Joaquín Simó.

Milk and Honey is a bar, that does not need introduction or further elaboration for cocktail enthusiasts. It gave birth to a number of modern classics, contributed greatly to the cocktail renaissance and gave us some of the best bartenders. Star Daisy is a delicious take by Joaquín Simó‘s on the Milk and Honey classic.

Cocktail base is split between high-proof London dry gin and apple brandy, creating a strong and complex foundation laden with notes of juniper, apples, oak and a hit of coriander. Dry Curaçao brings aromatic orange flavour blending very well with apple brandy with the help of its oaky brandy base. A touch of lemon juice brightens and lightens the cocktail with crisp citrus tartness, while a gentle addition of simple syrup balances things out.

All in all, Star Daisy is an elegant, bright and refreshing cocktail, perfectly suited to be enjoyed in a company of friend or to relax with alone after a long day.
