Gin Granade
A Gin Granade is a highball cocktail made with gin, mint, a shot of lemon and pomegranate juice poured over ice. It is usually garnished with a thin lemon zest. The amount of gin varies according to taste. Suggested ratios of gin to pomegranate juice are 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 2:3.

According to bartender Charles Schumann, to get a real Gin Granade "fresh juice as well as a truly noble-minded gin" is highly recommended. Although a rather young creation, the longdrink has already made it to the list of so called classic shortcuts: Friends of the Gin Granade usually just order a "double G".

History
The longdrink was introduced by Kai Schmelzle, a creative, who had the idea at a boring client meeting. Credit musst also be given to his long-time team partner Lukas Weigerstorfer. He helped him in creating the final version of the recipe. This is further supported by the fact that Weigerstorfer is the son of an old Austrian liquor dynasty.
