Edinburgh Gin Rhubarb and Ginger Liqueur, 50cl

Product Information

You can also pair it with plain soda water, for those who want to remove some of the sweetness and add a nice sparkling mixer. The added sugar adds a touch of sweetness, making this drink ideal for those who like a drink which is tasty, fruity and not bitter. This drink is perfect for cold winter evenings or long summer days – you can drink it all year round and it will still taste delicious! Just remember that strong flavours like citrus peel, chilli and fresh or dried herbs tend to be quite powerful in small amounts!

The standard tonic mixer works very well with this drink, and adds a burst of fizziness which lifts the whole experience. Rhubarb is a delicate flavour, which works very well by itself when infused into gin, but adding the ginger gives the drink a warm, spicy finish. Rhubarb’s slight tart edge is offset by the smooth gin, while the heat of the ginger shines through and brings all the flavours together. Wash and sterilise the bottle or jar you are using to make your gin (wash it with hot soapy water, then swill it out with boiling water or place it into a pre heated oven for 10 minutes). You can also drink it over ice, which will dilute the strength and the flavours – and the coldness will actually bring out the flavours of the gin. There is no cooking required; just a little bit of prep, and finishing it off is very low maintenance. The hardest part will be waiting for the drink to be ready!It’s got a cork-style lid rather than a screw top, with the latter traditionally being considered cheap, which gives Aldi’s bottle a subtly elevated feel.

If you’re having a celebration day or fancy a party, you can add a splash of your ginger and rhubarb gin to a glass of Prosecco – just remember that this combination is quite alcoholic! In this issue, Gin Magazine features a variety of alternative mixers that can be combined with gin. Salt, vinegar, bacon and eggs, peanut butter, and jelly are just a few of the classic pairings. Ginger ale is less popular, but it is not as well known as other beers. To make this drink, combine raspberries with gin in the bottom of a glass, then ice, and finally cream soda. Teas with a herbal or savory flavor, such as Gin Mare and Earl Grey, are appropriate for gins with a savoury or herbal flavor. Because of the combination of pineapple and grapefruit flavors, this carbonated beverage has a fruity, bittersweet taste. Cola’s sweetness may be perceived as a problem by some drinkers, so if this is a concern, try adding a splash of water.
