Cocktail Recipe: Clover Club

In Cocktails By

Today we bring you the gorgeous Clover Club featuring Gentleman’ Gin. The sweet and tart taste from the raspberry syrup and lemon are perfect with the taste of the gin botanicals. We used Gentleman’s Gin to add a depth of mature, almost pepper, flavour to underpin the more obvious flavours of the cocktail. Gentleman’s Gin has won gold in both the World Gin Awards 2020 and the Frankfurt International Trophy 2020, so it’s really special. The egg white add a velvety smoothness to each sip you take. 

The difficulty of the Clover Club is 4/10. The process involves an initial shake of the egg white to get the beautiful foam, followed by a shake with all other ingredients.

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.

Cocktail Recipe: The Libertine

In Cocktails By

This deliciously sweet and silky cocktail is known as the Libertine. It gorgeously blends the sweet citrus of fresh lemon juice and orange marmalade with the herbal notes of rosemary syrup. This pairs well with the orange and maple egg white foam on top of the cocktail and the delicious vanilla and bittersweet orange flavours of the 4 Year Old Tennessee Bourbon from American Eagle. Overall, the Libertine has a multitude of flavours in every sip.

The Libertine has a difficulty rating of 6/10 as there are quite a few processes involved, which includes making rosemary simple syrup. There are a lot of ingredients involved, and two shakes, one for the liquid component of the drink and the other for the foam.

Cocktail Recipe: Old Fashioned

In Cocktails By

The Old Fashioned is a cocktail enjoyed by many and it’s the perfect way to dress up your favourite bourbon, without detracting from the taste. The bitterness, mixed with the sweetness of the sugar cube and fruity aromas blend well and enhance the whiskey’s flavour profile nicely. We used American Eagle 4 Year Old Tennessee Bourbon Whiskey in our Old Fashioned, which has been aged in American oak barrels. The flavours of this Tennessee Bourbon are vanilla and fudge with bitter-sweet orange and they work extremely well for this cocktail.

The Old Fashioned has a difficulty rating of 3/10, due to the simple process and recipe.

Cocktail Recipe: Mint Julep

In Cocktails By

The Mint Julep is a fresh and minty cocktail, commonly associated with the Kentucky Derby but appreciated all-round. The three ingredients, whiskey, mint leaves, and simple syrup blend well to create a refreshing (and boozy) cocktail perfect for hot days. We recommend you use a whiskey that you really enjoy, as it has a big presence in this cocktail. We used Teeling Whiskey Small Batch which brings a beautiful oaky and sweetness to the drink.

The Mint Julep’s difficulty rating is 2/10 as only it requires a quick shake in the cocktail shaker. Again, the ingredients are easy to obtain and you might even have them already!
