#113 Chansey

1 1/2 oz. Gin

1/4 oz. Campari

1/4 oz. Pomegranate Juice

3/4 oz. Grapefruit Juice

1 oz. Simple syrup

Ice Sphere

Add all the ingredients to a mixing tin. Shake well with ice. Double strain into a stemless wine glass with an ice sphere. Garnish with an expressed mint leaf or two for aromatics. 

This cocktail was a fun little blend of a Negroni and some form of sour. I tried to combine a number of medically helpful ingredients. Chansey was after all Nurse Joy's aide in the earlier seasons of Pokemon before Audino. The obvious temptation was to use egg, and I tinkered with variants of the Clover Club, a Philadelphia classic, but I just didn't like the way that they looked. The white foam was nice, but I love the idea of a nice round wine glass and a cool ice sphere jutting out to symbolize the egg. The idea honestly crossed my mind to use a hard boiled egg as a garnish as this does work as a fantastic breakfast cocktail.
