COCKTAIL RECIPES
Old Tom style gins are the original cocktail gin. Fragrant and lightly spiced with a hint of roasted barley sweetness Campfire Old Tom Gin is a gin for all seasons.
In spring try the Square Pear – a combination of aromatic bitters, pear cider and gin. In summer it just has to be a long, cool gin mint julep – gin, lots of crushed ice, sweetness, refreshing mint and a straw for slow sipping whiling away a hot afternoon lazing in a hammock.
For warm autumnal days and colder evenings our twist on the classic Tom Sawyer, an Old Tom Sawyer, uses 21 dashes of Bitter Union No 1 Aromatic Bitters and 7 dashes of Spiced Orange Bitters plus fresh squeezed lime juice for a citrus kick! Heading on in to winter cosy up with a La Casa Sagrada – the combination of ginger syrup and sherry complement Campfire Old Tom Gin’s juniper and spice notes.
