For me, cocktails at home should be fairly simple to create and something you can sip several of without getting drunk too quickly. The sort of drink you can start of a Christmas lunch time and still be sipping after your Christmas dinner. Anything with fizz is perfect for that as the alcohol content is slightly lower, yet you can still add a decent punch of flavour with a decent gin.
Bobby’s gin is described as a Dutch-Indonesian hybrid with a base of juniper blending whole clove, cubeb pepper, cinnamon, lemongrass, rosehip, fennel and coriander. Together, it creates a punchy gin that is spicy yet fragrant with a touch of citrus and a bite from the pepper.
Thanks to the presence of clove and cinnamon, the gin is perfect for Christmas and its perfect serve is garnished with a clove studded orange, which is festive in itself. I thought I would use the spicy notes and create a fizzy cocktail that is perfect to serve with Christmas dinner, or to enjoy afterwards with the Queen’s speech.
Ingredients – Make 1
30ml Bobby’s Gin
30ml Cranberry juice
Juice of 1/2 lime
Prosecco to finish
Method
Pour the gin, cranberry juice and lime into a prosecco glass.
Give it a little stir and top with prosecco.
Serve.
In theory, you can use any gin but I like the depth of Bobby’s gin and its spicy notes are really noticeable in this fruity fizzy cocktail. I will enjoy several of these on the run up to, and on the big day. It is super simple to make and you don’t need any fancy cocktail equipment to whip it up. Enjoy!
You can grab yourself a bottle of Bobby’s gin from their website.
