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.
GIN & ORANGE SOUR
History
Sours contain a spirit, citrus, sweetener and often an egg white. In this orange sour we’ve used fresh squeezed orange juice and egg white which once frothed picks up the orangey citrus. This gin & orange sour cocktail is a flavoursome accompaniment to Thai spiced meals. If you don’t have our Box Moor Gin to hand, it is a limited edition gin afterall, then our Campfire London Dry Gin is a great substitute.
