COCKTAIL RECIPES
Experience the full flavour of our barrel finished gin, Campfire Cask Aged, by serving it neat over ice – taste the citrus and piney juniper softened by vanilla, caramel and soft fruity notes. Our recommended before dinner drinks featuring Campfire Cask Aged Gin are the Ember Negroni and a Gin and It meets a Manhattan – the Fireside Manhattan. Both are simple, easy to make classic gin cocktails that can be batch-made in advance of your dinner party.
A more complex gin cocktail in both flavour and ingredients is The Tally Man as created by bartender Ryan Puckett. We’ve adapted the original recipe slightly to use Campfire Cask Aged Gin and Bitter Union Lemon, Hop & Herb Bitters which when combined with banana liqueur where the bananas are soaked in brandy, dark crème de cacao and a glass rinse of absinthe makes just the best gin cocktail!
FOREST FINALE
History
A cocktail that derives from three types of tree – oak, beech and maple. It takes planning and dedication to prepare so do be aware that it’s not something you can concoct on the spare of the moment.
Ingredients
Equal measures of:
Campfire Cask Aged Gin
Beech leaf noyau (made with Campfire London Dry Gin)
Syrup (2 parts water, 1 part maple syrup)
Preparation
In Spring collect the early beech leaf tips, wash and stuff as many as possible into a bottle of Campfire London Dry. Seal and store in a dark cupboard for three weeks, shake every few days. Strain into a clean bottle. This is the noyau.
Next make a syrup of water and maple syrup. Measure and combine the three ingredients into another bottle to mix them well.
Then pour into shot glasses and serve with dessert.
