September 18, 2022 (IANSlife) Let's toast to this well-known traditional beverage during this World Negroni Week. After a long day of crunching figures at work, this is definitely the ideal time to upgrade your home bar and try these 3 energising gin cocktail ideas.
FRENCH 75
Ingredients
- 10ml trouvaille gin
- 10ml orange liqueur
- 10ml lemon juice
- 5ml sugar
- Champagne or fizz of your choice
How to prepare
- Mix the trouvaille, orange liqueur, and lemon juice together in a champagne flute and top with chilled champagne or fizz of your choice.
- The fizz will bring out the flavour of the gin, but if you are not a fizz fan you can replace it with chilled water.
GIN - ESPRESSO MARTINI
Ingredients
- 50 ml trouvaille gin
- 25 ml espresso (very cold)
- 25 ml coffee liqueur or any syrup of your choice
- Orange twist for garnish
How to prepare
- The trick for getting the foam for this one lies in the way you shake it, so to get that foam, shake it in a dry shaker.
- Mix all the ingredients in a dry shaker and shake it a little harder than you would for other drinks.
- Then pour it into a tall chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish with an orange twist.
CUCUMBER, BASIL, AND GIN SPLASH
Ingredients
- 30 ml Trouvaille Gin
- 3 cucumber slices
- 5-7 basil leaves
- 2 tsp sugar syrup
- Half lemon juice
- Crushed ice
How to prepare
- Muddle cucumber slices along with basil leaves in a shaker, so that they are crushed enough to release their flavour.
- Add sugar syrup, lemon juice, trouvaille gin, and crushed ice in the cocktail shaker.
- Now strain the cocktail in a glass and garnish it with some cucumber strips and fresh basil leaves.
- This one will surely leave you refreshed and asking for more.
