Popular Alcohol Recipes in GIN

Gin

Cucumber & coriander G&T

STEP 1 Put the gin, a few ice cubes and the coriander sprigs into a tumbler glass. STEP 2 Add a chunky stick of cucumber as a stirrer and top up with chilled tonic water. Give everything a good mix and enjoy.

Gin

Gin & tonic sorbet

STEP 1 Put the sugar in a pan with 400ml water and warm over a low heat until dissolved. Increase the heat and boil for 1 min. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. STEP 2 Pour the tonic water into a bowl, add the sugar syrup, then chill in the fridge until cold. STEP 3 Once the tonic mix is cold, add the gin, lime and lemon zests and juice, and pour into a container, then freeze until just frozen – this will take about 2 hrs. STEP 4 Remove the just-frozen sorbet from the freezer and break up with a fork. Froth the egg white with a fork, then add both to a food processor and pulse to blitz together – do it quickly so it doesn’t actually start to melt. Pour the mix back into your container and freeze until solid. Freeze extra slices of lemons and limes on a tray until solid. Serve the sorbet scooped into glasses or small bowls topped with lemon and lime slices

Gin

Dirty martini

STEP 1 Put two martini glasses in the fridge to chill. Thread the olives onto two cocktail sticks and set aside. STEP 2 Fill a jug or mixing glass with the ice, then pour in the gin, vermouth and olive brine. Stir until the outside of the jug feels cold. Taste to make sure that it's icy cold and that you’re happy with the dilution. STEP 3 Strain the mix into the chilled glasses and garnish with the olive skewers.

Gin

Rhubarb gin

STEP 1 Wash the rhubarb, trim the stalks and discard the base and any leaves. Cut the stalks into 3cm lengths. Put in a large jar with the sugar. Shake everything around, put the lid on and leave overnight. The sugar will draw the juice out of the rhubarb. STEP 2 After 24 hrs, add the gin, seal and shake everything around. Leave for about 4 weeks before drinking. You can strain the liquor off through a muslin-lined sieve and transfer to a bottle, but I often just leave the rhubarb and booze in the jar and ladle it into drinks that way. Over time the rhubarb and the gin go a much paler colour – this doesn’t look as dramatic. The upside is you that have to get through it fairly quickly!

Gin

Pink negroni

STEP 1 Combine the pink gin, vermouth and Aperol in a tumbler with a small handful of ice. Stir until the outside of the glass feels cold. STEP 2 Garnish with a wedge of pink grapefruit and a basil leaf.

Gin

Gin Martini

STEP 1 Stir the gin or vodka, dry vermouth and a little ice together or put them in a cocktail shaker to combine. STEP 2 Strain into a chilled martini glass. Serve with an olive on a cocktail stick or a twist of lemon peel.

Gin

Elderflower & cucumber G&Ts

STEP 1 Peel 2 long strips from the piece of cucumber and put in a small tupperware for transporting. Grate the remaining cucumber into a sieve set over a bowl and press down on it with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Add the elderflower cordial and gin to the cucumber juice and put in a bottle ready for travelling. At your picnic, wind the strips of cucumber around inside 2 glasses, pour in a quarter of the cucumber gin mixture, and top up with with a quarter of the bottle of tonic water to serve.

Gin

Chicory collins

STEP 1 To make the chicory syrup, put the caster sugar and 200ml water in a saucepan and add the caraway seeds, fennel seeds and the chicory head. STEP 2 Warm the ingredients over a medium heat until the sugar dissolves then bring to the boil. Turn off the heat and leave the syrup to cool completely before straining through a sieve lined with muslin or a coffee filter paper. STEP 3 To make the cocktail, chill 4 tall glasses in the fridge and put the gin, lemon juice and 100ml of the chicory syrup into a large cocktail shaker along with a good handful of ice. Shake until the outside of the cocktail shaker feels icy cold then strain into your prepared glasses. STEP 4 Add a few more ice cubes, put a chicory leaf into each glass then top up with soda water and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.

Gin

Spiced G&T

STEP 1 Put a large handful of ice in a big glass, then pour over 50ml cardamom-spiced gin. Crush 2-3 whole cardamom pods so they just split open and drop those in too. Pour over 100ml classic tonic water, then garnish with fresh or dried rose petals
