Get Rolling with Cool New Spirits In Time for St Paddys Day!!
St Patrick’s Day seems to be getting bigger every year. Rather than drink a green beer— which seems pretty odd to me, but then I don’t drink beer at all, try these nifty and tasty drinks from Plymouth Gin
Plymouth Express
Ingredients:
50 ml Plymouth Gin
25 ml Lime Cordial
25 ml Sparking Water
Mixology (aka how to make it)
- Place ice in a short/rocks glass
- Pour in Plymouth Gin
- Add Lime Cordial
- Top with Sparkling Water
- Stir and add cucumber garnish— the cucumber gives it a light fresh taste— so definitely make sure you don’t skip this part. It cuts the sweetness of the cordial.
Plymouth Aviation - this one is my fave!!
Ingredients:
50 ml Plymouth Gin
35 ml Lemon Juice ( fresh is better!) Another note- personal choice is often important. I prefer lime juice to lemon juice on this drink. Gives it a bit of a kick.
15 ml Maraschino Liqueur ( this is that cherry liquer. HUNT IT DOWN — it’s essential. This is not sweet)
1 dash Syrup de Gomme ( simple syrup, sugar syrup)
Mixology
- Fill mixing glass with ice
- Add the Plymouth Gin, lemon juice (freshly squeezed), maraschino liqueur and syrup de gomme
- Shake well
- Strain into a martini glass
- Add lemon zest garnish
You can find most of the ingredients on line at thedrinkshop.com or at your local Beverages and More store (think BEVMO.com)
Make sure you are wearing a bit of the green or just have this in a paper cup at all times. Paper if you are outdoors, nice cocktail glasses if you are indoors!
Have a great St. Patricks Day.
