COCKTAIL RECIPES
Special edition Box Moor Gin is distilled using very rare Hertfordshire juniper grown on The Box Moor Trust estate just 13 miles from the distillery. It’s a classic London Dry Gin delicious when served as a 1:2 G&T to allow the enhanced juicy plum and herbaceous notes of the juniper to shine. The Box Moor Trust manages a herd of Belted Galloway cattle. Affectionally known as Oreo cows they not only served as inspiration for the bottle label but also the fun Oreo cookie Cookies & Cream cocktail. If you like citrus and fruity aperitif cocktails try the Orange Sour.
COOKIES & CREAM
History
This gin cocktail is best enjoyed as a rich chocolate pudding. Now if you know Boxmoor, near Hemel Hempstead, and the fact we harvested rare juniper from the area on the The Box Moor Trust estate you’ll more than likely know the Belted Galloway cows. Not only did they influence the Box Moor Gin bottle label but they also influenced this cocktail! Predominantly black or gingery red in colour with a creamy white band round their middle they’re affectionately known as Oreo cows. Once we heard that, or should that be herd, we knew we needed a fun Oreo cookie gin cocktail! So enjoy!
