The weather may not quite have got the message yet, but British Summer Time officially starts on 29th March. Everyone here at Yarm Distillery is looking forward to some sunshine, so we have put together two summery drink recipes featuring our delicious artisan products. These will be perfect for relaxing outside in the warmer months (when they finally arrive)!
Yarm Gin Fizz
The beauty of the Gin Fizz is in its simplicity — you can easily modify your cocktail with your favourite flavour of Yarm Gin, and even experiment with different citrus juices and garnishes. Providing customisation options for a tipple is an ideal way to impress your friends at a garden party!
Here is the basic recipe:
- Pour 45ml Yarm Gin, 25ml lemon juice (ideally freshly squeezed), and 10ml sugar syrup into a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice.
- Shake vigorously.
- Strain the mixture into a glass, and top up your gin fizz with soda water to taste.
- Garnish with a slice of lemon. Cheers!
Yarm Spiced Pineapple Daiquiri
Dreaming of the beach in the middle of a typical British summer thunderstorm? We may not be able to provide a sun lounger or the sea, but Yarm Distillery can definitely provide the taste of a tropical getaway with our Yarm Spiced Pineapple Rum. Try it, and you will understand why the daiquiri is a firm favourite in bars across the globe.
- Pour 60ml of Yarm Spiced Pineapple Rum, 30ml of lime juice, and 15ml of simple syrup into a cocktail shaker with a generous handful of ice.
- Shake vigorously.
- Strain into a glass with plenty of ice.
- Garnish with a chunk of pineapple. Enjoy!
