We tried two versions of this lovely tarty drink back on New Year’s eve.

Grape and Gin Goodness…

Version 1

• 500g green seedless grapes
• 3 x limes
• 3 x lemons
• 1.5 cups gin
• 1.25 litres lemon lime sparkling mineral water
• 300ml tonic water
• ice

Method:

• remove grapes from stems and wash
• place grapes in bag and freeze until solid
• slice 1 x lime and 1 x lemon
• juice 2 x lime and 2 x lemon
• blend frozen grapes
• add all to jug with gin, tonic and mineral water
• add ice to serve

Pretty summer cocktail…

This was delicious but got a bit too much after a few so we ended up trying version 2 – which we preferred!

Version 2

• It’s exactly like version one – but swap out the 1.25 litres lemon lime sparkling mineral water with 1.25 litres soda water

We prefer our cocktails with just a hind of flavour hence in the end version 2 won out of the two.

How do you prefer your cocktails? Packed with flavours or light and refreshing?

Please share your favourite cocktail recipe with us – we’d love to give it a try.

Take care, until next time…keep restyling!
