Cocktail Recipe: Abuela’s Jardin

In Cocktails By

The Abuela’s Jardin is a refreshing cocktail created by Código 1530, featuring their Reposado tequila. The most prominent flavour element of the Abuela’s Jardin is herbal, which is emphasised with the inclusion of Chamomile Turbonado Syrup and bitters. We used the Orange & Mandarin Bitters from Bob’s Bitters which really amped up the flavour. As opposed to the usual blended-bitters, Bob’s Bitters are single flavours, which allow you to really highlight a specific taste and element. The Reposado tequila is based upon the beauty of the Blanco, and aged in hand-charred Napa Valley Cabernet French White Oak barrels for six months. This adds complex tasting notes such as toasted caramel and vanilla. 

The Abuela’s Jardin scores a difficulty of 4/10. The ingredients included are basic and easy to acquire. However, you may choose to make the Chamomile Turbonado Syrup, as opposed to buying it, which requires extra time and effort.

Cocktail Recipe: Gentleman’s Gin & Tonic

In Cocktails By

After the crazy garnish of our last post, we decided to take it very easy on this one – anyone can make this cocktail!. Introducing the Gentleman’s Gin & Tonic, in celebration of the last day of the British summer. The selected gin for this cocktail has a large influence on the overall taste, however the cucumber will be sure to bring a fresh and mellow flavour. When paired with Gentlemen’s Gin, its mature and peppery profile encourages an almost herbal note from the cucumber.

The Cucumber Gin & Tonic has a difficulty rating of 2/10. The drink itself is a very simple gin & tonic over ice, but we garnished it with a thin slice of cucumber spiralling up the glass.
