Cocktail Colin says:

4/5

The Ace cocktail merges the botanical notes of gin with the sweetness of grenadine and the luxurious texture of cream and egg white, crafting a velvety affair that balances decadence with refreshing clarity. While unusual, the combination of dairy with gin showcases a bold confidence in flavor pairing, making this drink a creamy delight for those who admire a cocktail that dares to be different.
