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.

RED ADMIRAL
History
Created specially for one of our dining at the distillery events, this bold cocktail works on it’s own and really well when paired with red meats as an alternative to a red wine. For a bit of theatre and to really separate out the port from the apple juice/gin mix, use a syringe or pipette to inject it into the bottom of the glass.
Ingredients
25ml Campfire Navy Strength Gin
20ml Ruby port
50ml Apple juice, clear
Dash of Bitter Union Spiced Orange Bitters
Thin slice of fresh ginger to garnish
Preparation
Shake some ice cubes, the gin, apple juice and the bitters vigorously in a cocktail shaker and strain into chilled martini glasses. Pour the port gently down the side of the glass so it sinks beneath the gin and bitters. Add the ginger slice.
