COCKTAIL RECIPES
Every gin shelf needs a bottle of Campfire London Dry Gin. Our original and most popular gin is the quintessential cocktail gin. Refreshing and complex juniper, sweet orange and rich golden berry shine in a classic 1:2 ratio G&T but for the ultimate gin aperitif it has to be served in a Campfire Bone Dry Martini – our martini recipe that won the World’s Best Martini Challenge in 2019. An amazing 10:1 Campfire London Dry Gin to sitting Dry Vermouth ratio!
For a sweeter alternative to a bone dry martini try our Bitter About Vesper cocktail with Lillet Blanc. Best served as an after dinner cocktail or with cakes and scones for afternoon tea. If you’re looking for a warm gin cocktail to serve on bonfire night, Halloween or Christmas parties then try the Puddingstone Purl or Spiced Apple Gin Warmer.

BITTER ABOUT VESPER
History
Whilst we are massive fans of a martini cocktail we recoiled in horror when reading James Bond’s martini order in Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale. There’s so much wrong with the now famous Vesper martini that we thought we’d create our own take on this classic. A delicate and light gin cocktail which balances sweet with lemon citrus and savoury notes. One to be sipped in replace of afternoon tea with thin rounds of lemon shortbread. Delicious.
