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.
