  • The Run Fast Gin Cocktail

    Run Fast Gin Cocktail with Old Tom Gin, Mint, Lemon FI

    This gin drink is a slight twist to a cocktail I had years ago at a giant horse show in KY – so of course, it had bourbon. But the Run Fast gin cocktail replaces the bourbon with some Old Tom gin. The Kentucky Three day event is a weekend of horses dancing around, going at full speed over the hills and jumping giant wooden things, and then one last…

  • The Gin Cuba Libre

    Gin Cuba Libre FI

    The Cuba Libre cocktail has one big difference from the plain Rum and Coke – it’s the lime.

The Tom Collins recipe is basically a ginny and fizzy lemonade, this recipe is a quick twist on that…

    Rosemary Orange Gin Cocktail FI

    Bring the citrus and herbs to your gin cocktail with this Rosemary Orange Gin Cocktail. If you are lucky enough to have your own little garden, you know how easy it is to grow some rosemary. Or just go to the store. I’ll preface this by saying that this recipe can be really HERB-Y and a bit overpowering with rosemary, but you can turn down the volume by not muddling…
