Need some gin-spiration for a garden gathering this weekend ? The folks at Otterbeck Distillery near Skipton share some sparkling recipes using their Cotton Gin
G&T:
50ml Cotton Gin
Premium Indian tonic water
Method: Add the sin to a large glass (we recommend a stemless copa) 4/5ths full of cubed ice. Top with premium tonic water and gently stir.
Garnish with lemon peel twirl and sprig of rosemary.
*To make clear ice, use pre boiled water.
** For the best experience keep both the gin and tonic in the fridge.
