I Tested Both… One Is Better

📦 Home Bartender Starter Kit → https://shop.awesomedrinks.com/products/home-bartender-starter-kit/ The Floradora is a classic gin highball that drinks bright, fruity, and refreshing—with a subtle ginger kick that can completely change depending on how you build it. Made with gin, fresh lime, raspberry, and a fizzy top, it lands somewhere between a Collins and a light spritz-style cocktail. If you like drinks that feel easygoing but still have a bit of complexity, this one absolutely delivers. 👉 Liber & Co.

Ginger ale brings a softer, sweeter profile that lets the raspberry and lime shine, while ginger beer adds a sharper, spicier bite that gives the cocktail more edge. Same base recipe, completely different experience depending on what you choose. Build it cold, top it fresh, and don’t underestimate the ginger—it’s what defines the drink. 🍸 Recipe — Floradora (Built 2 Ways) • 2 oz London dry gin • 1 oz fresh lime juice • 1/2 oz raspberry syrup • Ginger ale or ginger beer (to top) Instructions: • Add gin, lime juice, and raspberry syrup to a shaker with ice. • Shake well until chilled. • Strain into a tall glass filled with ice. • Top with ginger ale or ginger beer. • Garnish with raspberries. The Floradora dates back to the early 1900s and is named after the Broadway musical Florodora, which debuted in 1900. Unlike many cocktails from that era, it wasn’t formally captured in the original cocktail books, and instead shows up later in bartender guides and modern references. Because of that, there’s no single “official” recipe—just a consistent idea: gin, raspberry, citrus, and something fizzy. That flexibility is exactly what makes it fun to experiment with—and why the ginger choice matters more than you might expect. #cocktails #gin #mixology
