Ingredients  

Sugared Grape Garnish
Concord Grape Gin Sour
  • ¼ cup concord grapes
  • 2 ounces gin
  • 1 ounce simple syrup
  • ¾ ounce lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Place a few grapes in a small bowl and pour a little simple syrup over top to wet them. Remove them from the syrup, place them in another small bowl, pour a little granulated sugar over, and shake the bowl so the sugar coats the grapes. Skewer the grapes on a cocktail pick - I like to alternate sugared grapes with fresh grapes.

Notes

I've purposely omitted the quantities in the sugared grape garnish, as you can make as many or as few as you'd like. You only need a small amount of simple syrup and granulated sugar.
