Coke Julep: made with coke, gin and mint liqueur, this creative cocktail is a must-try!

All true gin fans know that gin and coke make a great combination, and many gin aficionados have even been known to replace tonic with coke for a great simple gin serve.

With this gin and coke cocktails recipe, we’ve taken things to the next level by introducing a touch of mint. It is utterly scrumptious and we can’t wait for you to give it a go!

Affectionately named a Coke Julep because its mouthwatering mix of sweet cola, fragrant mint and rich gin is reminiscent of its classic counterpart, which mixes bourbon, mint and sugar, this cocktail is so refreshing and really easy to make at home.

However, as with any recipe, it’s important to choose your ingredients carefully. For us, that means using the right gin and our top recommendation in York Gin Jorvik Spring, Craft Gin Club’s March 2023 Gin of the Month.

“Why York Gin Jorvik Spring?” We hear you ask. Well, York Gin Jorvik Spring has a fantastic mix of floral, citrus and spice notes, including lavender, heather, liquorice and ginger that simply works phenomenally well with the unique and iconic flavour profile of cola (Artisan Barrel Smoked Cola is great in this recipe!).

And for the mint liqueur, Giffard Menthe De Pastille would be our first choice for its authentic and fragrant mint tones that have been masterfully crafted. It really sings in this perfectly balanced recipe.
