This cocktail is a delightful twist on the traditional gin and sour, enhanced with the luxurious touch of Chambord and the freshness of mint. It’s a drink that whispers of speakeasies and timeless elegance, a nod to the days when cocktails were not just drinks, but symbols of style and savoir-faire.
