heaven sent

1/2 Coates' Plymouth Gin (2 oz Beefeater)
1/4 Lemon Juice (1/2 oz)
1/4 Cointreau (1/2 oz)
1 dash Grenadine (1/4 oz)
1 dash Absinthe (12 drop St. George)

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.Another recipe that I had spotted in the 1934 1700 Drinks From the Man Behind the Bar was the Heaven Sent. The combination of gin, Cointreau, grenadine, and citrus reminded me of the Boxcar except that utilized egg white akin to a White Lady and no absinthe. Here, the Heaven Sent gave forth a pine, orange, and floral aroma with a hint of anise. Next, lemon and berry notes on the sip rose into gin, orange, and pomegranate flavors on the swallow with a licorice and anise finish.
