  • Spring Cocktails

    Gin, Watercress & Pink Grapefruit Cocktail

    Ingredients (serves one)

    • 50ml gin
    • 20g watercress, roughly chopped
    • 50ml pink grapefruit juice
    • 250ml tonic water

    To serve (optional)

    • Watercress sprigs
    • Edible petals
    • Pomegranate seeds
    • Pink grapefruit slices

    Method

    To make decorative ice cubes for your cocktails, place a few watercress sprigs, petals or pomegranate seeds into the sections of an ice cube tray.  Fill with water and leave to freeze solid for at least one hour.

    Muddle together the gin and watercress by putting them both into a jug and mashing well with a fork.  Strain the gin through a fine meshed sieve to remove the chopped watercress while still leaving the flavour.  Add the grapefruit juice to the gin and mix.

    Take two gin and tonic glasses or large tumblers and fill with ice cubes.  Pour over the gin and grapefruit, then top up to the desired level with tonic water.  Garnish with a slice of pink grapefruit and serve immediately.

  • Bloody Mary

    Turner Hardy & Co’s The Best Bloody Mary

    Ingredients

    • 35ml Premium vodka
    • 125- 175ml ml Turner Hardy Pure tomato juice
    • A good serving of Worcestershire sauce
    • 3-6 drops of Tabasco (or Sriracha if you want to avoid the vinegar)
    • Squeeze of lemon juice
    • Squeeze of lime juice
    • A pinch of Cayenne pepper
    • A pinch of celery salt
    • A dash of Sherry

    Method

    Simply roll (don’t shake) in a cocktail shaker (or similar lidded container) with just two cubes of ice – too much ice waters the drink down when it melts. Garnish is very important… use the likes of beetroot, rosemary and even some cheddar. A slice of crispy bacon is an added bonus! Carrot, olives, a pickle and a red chilli also make a great garnish, whatever you have lying around! Top tip: The secret ingredient is always a dash of sherry!

    Chocolate Rum Bunny

    Ingredients

    • 25 ml Dark rum 25 ml Mozart Chocolate Liqueur
    • 25 ml Oat Milk
    • Bar of good quality milk chocolate

    Method 

    Start by chilling a cocktail glass in a freezer or by filling with ice. For an added Easter theme, use your knife and chopping board to cut the ears off a chocolate bunny, or the top off an easter egg and chill in a similar way to ensure it doesn’t melt in the meantime.

    Add all the ingredients to a large shaking tin, mixing glass, or whatever other receptacle – such as a mason jar – you happen to be using while at home and fill with ice.

    Using your bar spoon or similar stirring tool, gently stir. Keep the back of the spoon pressed against the inside of the tin/your homemade receptacle.

    Grab your strainer (or reposition lid/cap if using alternatives) and strain into your cocktail glass or chocolate treat.

    Garnish with a generous amount of chocolate shavings. Serve and enjoy.
