Pin Gin cocktails 28 Jun

Gin lovers, rejoice! Our Grow with the Show winners, Bottomley Distillers who produce Pin Gin, share some delicious cocktail recipes with us.

For the Elderflower Collins

50ml Pin Gin 
20ml Freshly squeezed lemon juice - this will keep in the fridge for ages!
10ml Sugar Syrup - you can buy this, but is really easy to make, 2:1 sugar to water and will keep for ages too!
10ml Elderflower Cordial - we like the Belvoir one!

Shake up the Pin Gin, lemon, sugar syrup and elderflower in a cocktail shaker, pour over cubed ice and then top with soda to finish.
Ideal in a tumbler or a high-ball glass.

For the Pin and Tonic

50ml Pin Gin 
Strawberries
Lime Tonic - we like Fever Tree!

Serve in a balloon glass with 50ml Pin Gin, fresh strawberries and a squeeze of a fresh lime. Topped up with a premium tonic.
