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.

CAMPFIRE BONE DRY MARTINI
History
Make the best martini in the world! Back in 2019 our Campfire London Dry Gin won the World’s Best Martini Challenge with this bone dry martini gin recipe. ‘Bone’ refers to the ratio of gin to vermouth which in our book is anything over a 6:1 ratio. This is a very dry martini recipe at 10:1! The ‘dry’ refers, not to the fact it’s made from a London dry gin, but because the other ingredient is a dry vermouth. Give it a try, it’s delicious and the best gin martini you’ll ever have!
To make enough for 1 person 1 part = 7.5ml.
Ingredients
