🍹COCKTAIL O’CLOCK🍹

Who say just because we are the G&T Box that we can’t ‘mix’ it up!! Super Summer long drink…

Classic Mojito

juice of 1 lime
1 tsp granulated sugar
small handful mint leaves, plus extra sprig to serve
60ml white rum
soda water, to taste

STEP 1
Muddle the lime juice, sugar and mint leaves in a small jug, crushing the mint as you go – you can use the end of a rolling pin for this. Pour into a tall glass and add a handful of ice.

STEP 2
Pour over the rum, stirring with a long-handled spoon. Top up with soda water, garnish with mint and serve.

STEP 3
Enjoy

One of our favourite’s

Now is the season for strawberries and what better way to use them than in our cocktail for the weekends, or thee week who cares, the strawberry gin smash!!

INGREDIENTS

For a pitcher:

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 limes, juiced (about 1/4 cup)
1 pound fresh strawberries
2 cups gin
3 cups club soda
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish
For a single drink:

1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 lime wedge
3 fresh strawberries, 2 hulled and sliced and 1 reserved for garnish
3 ounces gin
Club soda
Fresh mint sprig, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

For a pitcher:

Muddle the sugar and limes in a pitcher that holds at least 8 cups (64 ounces). Set aside 6 to 8 small strawberries and make a small slice in their tips. Hull and slice the remaining strawberries and muddle the slices lightly with the sugar and lime juice.
Stir in the gin and club soda and pack the pitcher full of ice. Add mint sprigs to garnish. Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with a strawberry, slotted onto the edge of the glass.

For a single drink:

In a tall glass, combine the sugar and a squeeze of juice from the lime wedge. Muddle with the back of a spoon to dissolve the sugar. Add the sliced strawberries and lightly muddle.
Fill the glass with ice and add the gin. Top with a splash of club soda and garnish with the last strawberry and a sprig of mint.

🍹 COCKTAILS🍹

Our chosen cocktail right now is a classic, Tom Collins!

The first recipe for a Tom Collins was published in 1876. How’s that for a historical cocktail? Many classic drinks were created in the 1920’s, but this one is far older. The Tom Collins makes the list of the International Bartender Association’s IBA official cocktails (with the name John Collins), meaning that it has an “exact” definition. What’s in a Tom Collins?

Gin
Lemon juice
Soda water
Simple syrup

Method:

1) Shake in a cocktail shaker. Take gin, lemon juice, and syrup and shake it together in a cocktail shaker with 4 ice cubes. (The number of ice cubes is specific so the drink doesn’t get too watered down.)

2) Strain into a glass and top off with soda water. Strain the drink into a glass with ice cubes. Then top it off with soda water.

3) Garnish! The garnish is what makes the signature Tom Collins. Add a maraschino cherry for the full effect! You can also add a lemon wheel if you’d like.

Please as always, tag us if you make any gin cocktails, we love to see your creations! Pop so we can find you too!
