March, as the saying goes, should come in like a lion and go out like a lamb.  Nope, not this March.  The month’s ending is more dismal and more disconcerting than its start.

This cocktail is also called a Red Lion.   Dip the rim of a goblet in lemon juice and then in colored sugar.   In a shaker full of ice, combine 1 ounce gin, 1 ounce orange liqueur, 1 ounce orange juice, and 1 ounce lemon juice.  Shake well and strain into the goblet.

I made the cocktail exactly as the recipe said, yet it was in need of some sweetness. Appropriate, I suppose.
