G&T
We like to mix Lind & Lime with 1 part gin to 2 parts tonic. Perhaps start there, and then add more tonic if you’d like it a little weaker.
Most of us don’t have the perfect ingredients to hand when we’re mixing a G&T at home, and we want you to enjoy our gin any way that you’d like to. But if you want a few more pointers…
We like to use a tall glass or hi-ball. It helps keep the fizz in your tonic for longer and it’s easier to measure out your gin to tonic when you’re pouring.
We’ve found that Fever Tree Refreshing Light Tonic works beautifully with Lind & Lime.
Fill your glass with ice - as much as you can. You want the ice to chill and refresh your G&T without diluting it.
The French 75
A decadent mix of champagne, gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup, the famous French 75 dates back to the First World War, created in 1915 at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris. The cocktail was said to pack such a punch that it was reminiscent of being shelled by French 75mm field gun.
50ml Lind & Lime
30ml freshly squeezed lemon
15ml sugar syrup
Shake and pour into a champagne flute. Once settled, pour champagne or prosecco down a bar spoon allowing it to sit on top of the gin mix.
Optional: drop a sugar cube into the glass. Serve with a lemon twist
The Gimlet
In the Raymond Chandler novel The Long Goodbye, a character famously describes a Gimlet as ‘half gin, half Rose’s Lime Juice and nothing else’. Indeed, that is how the recipe is originally set down in the famous Savoy Cocktail book of 1930. We were pretty excited about this as Rose’s Lime Cordial was first produced in Leith, where we make our gin. However, after much experimentation we decided that to make the ultimate Gimlet, it’s got to be fresh lime juice. Maybe it just wasn’t as easy to come by in 1930…
50ml Lind & Lime
25ml freshly squeezed lime juice
Stir in sugar syrup or sugar and sweeten to your taste.
Shake with ice and serve in a coupe.
