Pinkster Gin: Gimlet Cocktail

To celebrate the glorious gardens of Pinkster founder Stephen Marsh, enjoy making a Gimlet Cocktail at home!
The classic cocktail ingredients are alcohol, something sweet and something sour and this contemporary twist on a traditional gin cocktail has it all. Unashamedly pink and fabulously simple to make, it’s also easy to pre-batch and will keep for weeks in the fridge. Just shake it like you mean it before pouring. It’s little surprise this is a best-seller at Pinkster’s pop-up events.

INGREDIENTS
50ml Pinkster
25ml fresh lime juice
25ml sugar syrup
12.5ml Pinkster Raspberry & Hibiscus Spritz
Raspberries and a lime

METHOD
Pour into a shaker
Add a couple of raspberries
Shake and then pour into an ice-filled glass
