COCKTAIL RECIPES
Every gin shelf needs a bottle of Campfire London Dry Gin. Our original and most popular gin is the quintessential cocktail gin. Refreshing and complex juniper, sweet orange and rich golden berry shine in a classic 1:2 ratio G&T but for the ultimate gin aperitif it has to be served in a Campfire Bone Dry Martini – our martini recipe that won the World’s Best Martini Challenge in 2019. An amazing 10:1 Campfire London Dry Gin to sitting Dry Vermouth ratio!
For a sweeter alternative to a bone dry martini try our Bitter About Vesper cocktail with Lillet Blanc. Best served as an after dinner cocktail or with cakes and scones for afternoon tea. If you’re looking for a warm gin cocktail to serve on bonfire night, Halloween or Christmas parties then try the Puddingstone Purl or Spiced Apple Gin Warmer.

PUDDINGSTONE PURL
History
Who says a gin cocktail needs to be cold. This potent combination is referenced in the writing of Dickins, Shakespeare and Pepys. The hot Purl gin cocktail was believed to be the favoured morning tipple of Thames boatmen but would be equally warming under an Autumnal moonlit sky.
Ingredients
100ml Campfire London Dry Gin
300ml Hoppy golden ale
150ml Pressed apple juice
2cm cube Fresh ginger
½ stick Cinnamon
2 Brown sugar cubes
2 tsp Honey
Preparation
Add the ale, apple juice, ginger and cinnamon stick to a pan and heat slowly, bringing it to a gentle simmer. After 10 minutes add the sugar. Continue to simmer gently for a further 10 minutes during which time you can toast some marshmallows over the fire.
Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the honey until dissolved, add the Campfire Gin and divide into two tumblers. Garnish with toasted marshmallows.
