Adult Cherry Limeade, Made 2 ways!
Nostalgia is a powerful feeling, and the Adult Cherry Limeade brings it all back for me. That not too sweet, not too tart summer refresher. I can even taste the candy-like maraschino cherry dropped into the drink in a quasi garnish for a syrup drink in a styrofoam cup. Not today, this alcoholic version packs fresh fruit with gin and optional bubbles. That would be the second way to enjoy…
The Feisty Pony Gin Refresher
Sometimes you accidentally stumble upon a great concoction and create a Feisty Pony. But you can’t think of a catchy name, so you tell your bud it’s gingery, with a hint of flowery. And an inkling of lime and mint. And you mention that it’s spicy, depending on the ginger beer you use, and she calls it the Feisty Pony. A tip of the hat to a mule, only better.…
The Slow Friday
The Slow Friday gin cocktail checks off lots of boxes here – fruity without sweet, slow sipping, hint of tang, and gin. And sure, this drink it totally made up, accidentally in fact. But isn’t that how all drinks get started? Ginger is what makes this drink easy and surprising. We made it with Domaine de Canton, that delightfully punchy and bold ginger liqueur, as featured in the potent Gin…
Stay at Home, Beach
The Stay at Home, Beach is a gin cocktail creation inspired by the need to be outside, in the sand, with the ocean lulling you to sleep with the soft sound of waves. Only we are stuck inside. So bring beach to your home! Don’t worry about ingredients, you can have it all delivered. Oh, what a time to be alive… This easy drinking gin cocktail pairs tropical fruit juices…
The Elderflower and Cucumber Gimlet
Wow this is delicious! This Elderflower and Cucumber Gimlet combines gin, elderflower, cucumber, and lime into a lovely creation. It’s also super easy to modify this to your liking, adding flavors and taking away others if you like. Gimlets are traditionally served in a martini glass, but I don’t care and I wanted to use this fancier coupe I found in an antique shop. So I did. I also doubled…
The Chestnut Cup Gin Cocktail
Ladies and gents – if you love bitter, the Chestnut Cup is for you! And despite its Pepto-esque color, it’s not chalky at all. My only notes on this drink are “totes bitter” and “what a punch”. Obviously, the bitter taste comes from the Campari. Perhaps you know of Campari from the world famous Negroni? Well, it’s gorgeous and bitter all at the same time. Like an ex? But –…
The Ladykiller Cocktail
If tropical fruit juice makes you happy, and gin makes you happy, this Ladykiller cocktail will definitely make you happy. It’s tropical, but not to the point of being tiki. You can make this with fresh squeezed pineapple and passion fruit juices, or use pre-made juices. This will totally change the sweetness of your drink, so add more gin or perhaps some simple syrup if you need to change it…
Sky Juice Gin Drink
I was first introduced to Sky Juice in the Bahamas, where one eats and drinks all things tropical. As one should. I’m not such a huge fan of coconut or coconut flavors, but this weirdly milky drink, also known as Gully Wash, is pretty good! If you absolutely LOVE coconut, this one is a must for you. You can, if you like, serve this in a coconut. If you are…
The Jump High Gin Cocktail
This lovely and sweet gin cocktail, the Jump High, is a close relative to the previously made Run Fast cocktail. Because horses and gin go so well together. WAIT – spectating horses and gin go so well together. The Jump High can tend to be on the sweet side, depending on your sensitivity to elderflower liqueurs and the type of apple juice you use. Some of the more additive-free apple…
The Pomegranate Gin and Tonic – Two Ways!
That’s right! I’ll give you two ways to enjoy the Pomegranate Gin and Tonic. Options are good, you know! And sometimes, you want to go for color, and sometimes you want to go for layers. This crazy easy cocktail is low on ingredients, and if you spend just a little extra time being careful, you can create the ombre effect. Or not. It’s an easy sipping G and T, and…
