Crooked Sister

This was a tasty and easy drink to make:

1 oz. gin
1 oz. creme de cacao blanc (we used dark)
1 oz. Cointreau

Fill a rocks glass with ice and then build the drink by pouring in the ingredients.  I gave the glass a little swirl to mix the ingredients.  You're suppose to garnish with a cherry and orange slice, but I didn't do that.

The cocktail was nicely sweet, with a pleasant chocolate flavor.  I didn't notice the Coinbtreau, but I suspect it's used to counter the creme de cacao and prevent the drink from becoming too chocolatey sweet.
