Raise a toast to friends across the pond on 4 July with these red, white and blue cocktails!
Jul 3, 2019
Here at Craft Gin Club, we like to share the love for the gin scene around the world, wherever those like-minded and fabulous folk may come from!
The USA, as the birthplace of many a classic gin cocktail and home to some of the best gin bars to be found anywhere, holds a special place in our heart.
So what better to honour our gin-loving friends across the water than with some red, white and blue cocktails that we can all sip on come the 4th July? Gin-lovers from New York to LA and from New Orleans to Seattle: we salute you!
RED: Raspberry Gin Fizz
25ml raspberry simple syrup*
50ml gin
50ml lime juice
Soda water
Raspberries and lemon slice, to garnish
*For the raspberry simple syrup:
400g fresh raspberries
400g sugar
400g water
To make the raspberry simple syrup, combine raspberries, sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Heat gently and stir until the berries have broken down and the sugar and water have combined into a syrup. Strain into a glass and allow to cool. Makes enough for several drinks.
Once your syrup is cool, combine syrup, gin and lime juice in a glass with lots of ice and stir. Top up with soda water and garnish with raspberries and lemon slice.
WHITE: White Lady
50ml gin
24ml triple sec
15ml lemon juice
Egg white (optional)
Combine your ingredients in a cocktail shaker and dry shake for 20 seconds, until the egg is emulsified. Add ice and shake again, straining into a chilled cocktail coupe and serving straightaway.
BLUE: Blue Martini
45ml vodka
15ml dry gin
4ml blue curaçao
8ml vermouth
Blackberries, to garnish
Stir all ingredients together in a shaker with ice, then strain into a chilled Martini glass. Garnish with a blackberry and serve.
