Looking to unwind after an exhausting weekend? Planning a mini get-together for your friends? Whatever might be the case, you cannot go wrong with cocktails!
What’s better is to make them with fine Australian Gin – perhaps with one from a Manly Spirits Co?
Gin cocktails are the epitome of versatility. Whether you desire a drink that defines masculinity or something more delicate and feminine – the range of gin cocktails is impeccable!
So, which Australian gin cocktails should be up in your sleeve, like the best party trick, to wow your people? Let’s see!
1. The Negroni
The Negroni tops the list of gin cocktails by a fair shot. It’s easy to make, and oh, the taste is elite!
Making a negroni is pretty simple. All you have to do is mix equal parts of Gin, Campari and sweet Vermouth. Take a jug, take a tumbler, or take a glass – it doesn’t matter. It just has to have three equal parts of the ingredients.
Regardless of what weather it might be, a Negroni can drive you into a happy state of mind within seconds.
Pro tip: feel free to experiment with the proportions, garnishes and ratios.
Who knows what you might infamously invent that your friends would never forget?
2. Tom Collins
Top Collins was memorialized in writing by Jerry Thomas, the father of American mixology, back in 1876.
This drink may look like a regular chilled, sparkling lemonade, but the punch of refreshing taste it offers is oh-so-good! Making it requires barely any effort, either.
Just combine your favourite Gin with lemon juice and sugar. Top it off with carbonated water. You can play around and experiment more until you formulate the gin cocktail of your dreams.
Just make Tom Collins your own!
3. The Golden Fizz
Gin cocktail with an egg – what a twist!
The Golden Fizz might not be something you often turn to, but it’s time to wake up to its brilliance. If you are well-versed with simple gin fizz, the golden fizz is a step ahead with its addition of egg yolk.
If you are wondering, why the egg yolk? It offers the kind of texture and creaminess that’s so lightweight – almost like a gin cream brûlée.
Make your pick of Australian Gin. Add lime juice, sugar and egg yolk. Shake with ice cubes, strain into a highball and top it with chilled soda water. There you go!
This Golden Fizz might become the rockstar of your party. Better yet, you might want a taste of it on a weekday while working from home. Either way, it’s excellent!
4. Bramble
Another great classic from the past. Bramble was curated back in 1980 by Dick Bradsell in London. It boasts of a warm winter drink, but you can enjoy it whenever you please!
Initially, Bradsell made it with dry Gin, simple syrup, lime juice, crème de mûre, and some crushed ice. But you can make this succulent cocktail with your favorite Australian Gin!
This elixir will go down your throat so smoothly with just a hint of sweet flair to elevate the entire taste.
Let’s get your glasses out and whip some Bramble!
