COCKTAIL RECIPES
PUD PUD Gins (Puddingstone Pudding Gins) are primarily our Christmas gins based around a gin we distill using Christmas pudding ingredients. Along with the regular PUD PUD Gin we use the base gin to create different expressions such as PUD PUD Cask (gin is rested in port infused ex-bourbon casks), PUD PUD Cherry (gin macerated with fresh, locally grown Horwood Cherries) and summer edition PUD PUD Cacao (a distillation of cacao nibs blended with original PUD PUD Gin adding notes of chocolate).
PUD PUD Cherry Gin forms the base of two of our favourite after dinner cocktails – White Herts (our version of a White Russian switching the vodka for PUD PUD Cherry Gin) and Black Forest (think Black Forest Gateaux in a glass!).
CHERRY GIN SOUR
History
A gin sour with it’s frothy, snowy looking top is one of the best winter Christmas cocktails. Soft cherry and juniper gin notes are sweetened by the syrup and warmed by the zesty lemon.
Ingredients
60ml PUD PUD Cherry Gin
30ml Simple syrup or almond syrup
30ml Fresh squeezed lemon juice
White of half an egg or 15ml aquafaba
Ice for dilution
Maraschino cherries for garnish
Preparation
Add all ingredients except the ice to a cocktail shaker. Shake well for 20 seconds. Add the ice and shake for a further 20 seconds. Fine strain into a cocktail glass. The froth should settle at the top. Garnish with the cherries.
