Want a delicious gin recipe to cool down this summer? Why not try our Fox In The Garden gin recipe! This drink is perfect for hot days, and it's easy to make. All you need is gin, elderflower cordial, apple juice, lime juice, and mint leaves. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
Serve in a Coupe Glass
- 1 1/2 oz (45ml) St. George Terroir Gin
- 1/2 oz (15ml) Cynar
- 2 dashes (~16 drops) of Brooklyn Hemispherical Rhubarb Bitters
- 1 1/2 oz (45ml) beet juice
- 1/2 oz (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 oz (15ml) beet rock syrup
Garnish: 2 small mint sprigs
Required Tools
Boston Shaker Set
Fine Strainer
Coupe Glass
Muddler
How to Make
- Take the mint leaves and lightly muddle them in the mixing tin / shaker. As always, don’t over-do it.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, followed by some nice pieces of ice and shake.
- It’s almost a shame that the color of the beet juice is subdued with the Cynar and the syrup but its a necessary evil. The clearer the spirits you add to it, the prettier it’ll look (FYI).
- Double strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with a tiny sprig of mint and enjoy this gin recipe.
About
The hardest part about making this is would be to press the beet juice. I’m lucky enough to have a pretty rad juicer but it happens to be a pain in the ass to wash, so I guess it balances itself out in the end?
Once you’ve peeled, washed and juiced the beets, you’ll have this gorgeous colored goodness in a glass. You may want to sample it first since the taste can vary slightly but it should be sweet, a bit tart and a full of flavor gin recipe.
