It is no secret that I love cocktails! I always have done and especially love Prosecco cocktails however it wasn’t until I attended the Notts Cocktails Blogger event that I discovered I really like gin cocktails! I have never been keen on gin and tonics and thinking it was the gin part I disliked, I never went near gin cocktails however after trying one at the event, I realised it’s actually tonic I don’t like! So we have I recreated some traditional gin cocktails courtesy of Hayman’s London Dry Gin perfect for the Summer!

Hayman’s are award winning gin makers who have been making gin the traditional way for over 150 years, which makes them the only family of original English gin makers still distilling today! They measure, by hand, the right balance of juniper, coriander, lemon peel and orange peel, as well as angelica, orris root, cinnamon, cassia bark, nutmeg and liquorice to create the perfectly infused classic gin we know today.

Summer Cocktails

English Ruby Fizz

We were sent 3 classic summer gin cocktail recipes that have been reinvented by Hayman’s to try out. We started off with the English Ruby Fizz and boy what a starter it was! The cocktail itself is made with fresh raspberries, ginger ale and lime and creates a stunningly sweet and refreshing cocktail. So light and tastes just like summer, it was absolutely delicious!

Victorian Mojito

The next cocktail we tried out was the Victorian Mojito which is lovely blend of tonic water and lime juice. Not being a massive fan of tonic water, I was still impressed by how subtle the flavour in this cocktail was. This one is definitely more of a classic gin and tonic with the minty edge but really refreshing and well worth trying!

Lavender Lady

The final cocktail we tried was the Lavender Lady which is a little more complicated to create as it involves egg white, honey water, Cointreau and orange bitters however I really liked the sour taste and silky texture. This is definitely a drink I will be recreating this Summer!

We have definitely found our new favourite gin cocktail from the 3 recipes we got the chance to try out! We both picked the Hayman’s English Ruby Fizz as our favourite as we both loved how fruity and refreshing the cocktail is. It will definitely be a winner at any BBQ party and I can’t wait to serve it to all of our family and friends to see how much they enjoy it too!
