Cola, amaretto and gin come together in this stunning cocktail recipe!

It may surprise some gin fans to find out that gin and cola work so well together, but it’s true, a Gin & Coke is an absolutely delicious alternative to a G&T when you are looking for something a little sweeter. And if you haven’t tried a Cubata (gin, cola and lime juice - a Cuba Libra with gin instead of rum) then we recommend that you give it a go asap.

But first, you need to try this stunning gin, amaretto and cola cocktail. Inspired by the classic Amy & Navy cocktail recipe, which mixed gin with almond syrup, it’s super quick and easy to make at home, and it could not be more scrumptious. One will never be enough!

As with any good cocktail recipe, this one relies on the quality of its ingredients. So be sure to use only the best craft gin and amaretto you can find - we recommend a good London dry and Disaronno for the amaretto.

And for the cola? Well, it can only be Artisan Drinks’ Barrel Smoked Cola for us. This artisan cola is aged in barrique barrels to give it an invitingly smokey aroma, complementing the spicey, bitter tones of the cola nut wonderfully. It’s the perfect match for the rich, complex juniper of the gin and the nutty, almond fragrance of the amaretto.

A touch of fresh lemon juice then lifts all of those deep, sumptuous flavours, to give you are truly remarkable gin-and-coke cocktail experience that’s like no other. We can’t wait for you to give it a try!

The Barrel Smoked Cola isn’t the only amazing mixer that Artisan Drinks have put their minds to, Artisan Drinks Pink Citrus Tonic and Artisan Drinks Fiery Ginger Beer are a must-try, especially in cocktails like the two below…
