Whether you’re shovelling crisply fallen leaves, returning home from a day out in the woods or in front of a fireplace with a good book, we can all agree a cozy cocktail is the perfect way to end a day. Taking our favourites as a baseline, we’ve created a sweet & sour whiskey nightcap and a fresh gin bubbly afternoon pick-me-up.
Campfire Sling
- 30ml Dark spiced rum
- 5ml Maple syrup
- 2ml bitters
- smoked orange twist
Add three pieces of ice or a whiskey cube to an old fashioned glass & pour over the rum, syrup & bitters. Stir thoroughly using a cocktail spoon, first clockwise for 15 turns then anti-clockwise for a further 15 turns. Using a smoker, release the oils from the orange zest over the surface of the glass, then drop to zest into the glass.
Earl Grey Gin Fizz
- 40ml gin
- 30ml lemon juice
- 1tsp earl grey tea
- 1 lemon zested
- 18g caster sugar
- 6 Juniper berries
- 80ml water
- 1 egg whites
- Prosecco
Place the sugar, tea bag, juniper & water into a saucepan on medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then simmer for 4 minutes, remove from heat & add the lemon rind. This makes the syrup.
Once cooled, separate the lemon rind, juniper & tea from half the syrup, placing into a cocktail shaker along with the gin, lemon juice & egg white. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds & strain into a champagne flute.
Top with Prosecco.
