Seventh Heaven Cocktail Recipe
The Seventh Heaven cocktail is a bright, balanced mix of gin, maraschino liqueur, and fresh grapefruit juice. We love how the botanical notes of gin blend with the sweet cherry-almond depth of maraschino and the tart citrus kick. It is a refreshing, well-rounded drink with just the right amount of complexity.
