Opal Cocktail

You'd think that a drink named after a multi-colored stone would be more than just orange, but the flavor, depending on the gin you use, is more than the flavor of oranges. Green Hat gin really helped take this cocktail in an herbal direction. The juniper presence was strong, as well as other citrus fruits and spices.

• 2 oz. gin (Green Hat used)
• 1/2 oz. triple sec
• 1 oz. orange juice
• 1/2 tsp. sugar syrup

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
