We continue our week of spotlighting bartenders from The Improper Bostonian's "Beloved Bartender" issue.
It isn't every day that you get a cocktail with the word "sock" in it, so this drink caught my eye. It's the signature drink of Ari Barbanell. She's a bartender at Chez Henri in Boston. Well, Cambridge, to be precise.
The Pink Sock
1 oz. Plymouth Gin
1/2 oz. Cointreau
juice of half a pink grapefruit (or Ruby Red)
Shake over ice, strain into a cocktail glass with a sugared rim and float a layer of sparkling cava on top. Garnish with a twist of lemon.

A prolapsed anus. Real classy.
