About this deal
Why the perfect pairing? The orange gin is strong enough to hold the sweet hibiscus; together they make for a full bodied long serve. We loved it so much we served it at our Good taste launch party.
Our Nettle Liqueur is definitely a more earthy affair than that, but is equally simple to make, and really tastes rather good. Lamb & Watt Basil Tonic is beautiful and herbaceous yet with a hit of natural quinine that leaves you in no doubt you are drinking a tonic; the basil lasts well and leaves behind a satisfying dry finish.
Method: Serve long over ice and garnish with a thin slice of ginger and a wedge of lemon. Whitley Neill Quince Gin with Lamb & Watt Cucumber Tonic Saying that this one is delicious is an understatement! Boutique-y Gin Company are responsible for creating this one by infusing gin in a pineapple that’s been covered in sugar roasted over a flame. This creates an irresistible caramelised piece of heaven, which they then combine with one of their classic gins. Weather you have a sweet tooth or not you have got to give this one a go… Ingredients: 35ml Whitley Neill Quince Gin, 100ml Lamb & Watt Cucumber Tonic Water, 2 squeezes fresh lemon juice, 2 squeezes fresh lime juice, 10ml Elderflower cordial, cucumber to garnish Over the 48 hours our infusion got progressively darker, and to be honest I expected it to taste pretty disgusting when I tried it, but in fact it tastes really rather good.
Fruit, cream, herbs, spices, flowers or nuts are the traditional choices, but you will also find some more imaginative creations on the internet including various candy concoctions such as Skittle Vodka. Ingredients: 35ml J.J. Whitley London Dry Gin, 100ml Lamb & Watt Original Tonic Water, 10ml freshly squeezed lemon juice, 35ml cranberry juice and a lime wedge to garnish Why the perfect pairing? The basil complements the flavours of this gin without overpowering the rhubarb or the ginger, meaning you won’t miss a thing. It has a pleasant earthy taste, and you definitely know its nettle based, with a taste reminiscent of the Nettle Cordial we made last year.
