As World Gin Day approaches on Saturday June 13th we will be splashing the elderflower concoctions liberally. Elderflower is a very magical plant that brings a delicacy and sweetness to any gin cocktail.
Our first choice is a zestful herbal summer gin cocktail centering on thyme, cucumber and elderflower liqueur. This cocktail is lovely as a long drink with plenty of tonic and ice. As thyme has quite a strong flavour we would recommend experimenting a little with the quantities to your taste.
Thyme and Cucumber Garden Gin
45 ml The Captain's Wife Gin
Splash of Elderflower liqueur
Splash of Lime Juice
Half a Cucumber
1 sprig of Thyme
Tonic to taste.
Ice
Muddle the cucumber and thyme in a cocktail shaker. Add in Welsh Sisters Gin, lime juice and liqueur. Shake and serve over ice. Add tonic to taste.Garnish with cucumber, lime or thyme. Iechyd Da!
