Gin Cocktails
Hello there!
In summer, I do like a cocktail now and again so I wanted to share three gin-based cocktails. It is all about the garnishes in these recipes, with much of the flavour and fragrance coming from berries, fresh herbs and even vegetables. This blog post contains three different recipes including a classic combination of strawberry and lime, the little out there cucumber, blackberry and rosemary and one inspired by the flavours of a bloody Mary. I hope you get to try these out with friends and family this summer. Enjoy!
The Recipe: Gin Cocktails
200ml tonic or lemonade
50ml gin
Ice
To garnish:
Lime wedges
Fresh strawberries
Combine the gin and tonic or lemonade. Add a squeeze of lime juice and add the lime wedges, fresh strawberries and ice to serve.
2. Cucumber, Blackberry and Rosemary
50ml gin
Ice
To garnish:
Small handful blackberries
5 cucumber ribbons
Sprig rosemary
Combine the gin and tonic or lemonade. Fold the cucumber ribbons around cocktail sticks and add to the glass with blackberries, a rosemary sprig and ice to serve.
3. Tomato, Celery and Chilli
50ml gin
3 tsp tomato puree
Ice
To garnish:
Stick celery
Sprig flat-leaf parsley
1-2 cherry tomatoes
Sprinkle chilli flakes
Combine the gin and tonic or lemonade. Add the tomato puree and stir to dissolve. Add celery stick, sprig of parsley and cherry tomatoes halved and placed on a cocktail stick. Sprinkle with chilli flakes and add ice to serve.
I hope you enjoy these cocktails and remember to drink responsibly.
