Gin cocktails and recipes to try

If you have some gin already kicking about the house – or you’ve made some of your own flavoured gin – why not experiment with something a bit different?

English Garden Cocktail

Ingredients:

  • Gin 50ml
  • St Germain elderflower liqueur 25ml
  • Apple juice 75ml
  • Lime juice 10ml
  • Cucumber ribbons to garnish

To make, simply shake all ingredients and strain over ice. Add the cucumber at the end for extra flavour and flair.

Bramble Gin Cocktail

Ingredients:

  • Dry gin 50ml
  • Lemon juice 25ml
  • Sugar syrup 12.5ml
  • Crème de mure 12.5ml
  • Blackberries for garnish

To make this classic cocktail, shake the gin, lemon and sugar syrup together with ice. Strain into a glass filled with ice (crushed if possible). Then drizzle the crème de mure in, followed by adding the blackberries for presentation (and a post-drink snack).

Japanese Gin Martini

Ingredients:

  • Gin 50ml
  • Sake 50ml

To make this simple martini-with-a-difference, shake the ingredients over ice and strain into a glass, no ice. If you want, garnish with a lemon peel or stick an olive in.

Fruit Gin Fizz

Ingredients:

  • Gin 50ml
  • Lemon juice 25ml
  • Agave nectar (or simple syrup) 20ml
  • Fruit of your choice – strawberries, raspberries or passion fruit go best with the juniper of the gin
  • Soda Water

This is a fresh take on a classic Tom Collins, and lets you use whatever fruit you prefer.

To make, muddle (fancy word for squish) your fruit of choice in the bottom of your cocktail shaker. Then add 25ml of lemon juice, your agave nectar, gin and shake over ice.

Strain into a glass with ice and add soda and garnish with any leftover fruit you have.
