COCKTAIL RECIPES
Campfire Navy Strength Gin might be strong but it’s also very smooth. Its zesty and candied fruit notes really shine through in our navy strength cocktails. Enjoy an after dinner cocktail in replace of a dessert by serving up a Melbourne Mess or sip on a Red Admiral – gin, ruby port, Bitter Union Spiced Orange Bitters and clear apple juice. One of our favourite rich and fruity spirit forward gin cocktails. Delicious!
The original Pink Gin is a serve of Navy Strength Gin and a few dashes of Angostura Bitters but our Pink Campfire pairs gin with Aromatic tonic where flavour and colour is derived from Angostura bark.

MELBOURNE MESS
History
A trip to visit family in Melbourne, Australia, is the inspiration for this cocktail based on a Ramos Gin Fizz and strawberry pavlova. Australia, of course, famous for creating the pavlova dessert in honour of Anna Pavlova the ballerina.
Ingredients
60ml Campfire Navy Strength Gin
2 Fresh strawberries (muddled not blended – for better flavour)
10ml Lemon juice
10ml Lime juice
25ml Sugar syrup
25ml Egg white
25ml Single cream
Soda water
Ice
Preparation
Add Campfire Navy Strength Gin and chopped strawberries to a beaker and muddle. Strain through a fine strainer into a cocktail shaker. Add all the other ingredients except the egg white. Add a few cubes of ice and shake vigorously. Strain to remove the ice and return the liquid to the shaker and add the egg white. Shake again or use a food mixer to save time! Now the tricky bit… pour ⅔ of the cocktail into a glass while pouring in soda water at the same time. Once the glass is just over half full pour in the remainder of the cocktail to ensure a thick foamy head.
