Why did the banana go out with the prune? Because it couldn’t get a date! Why is lettuce the most loving vegetable? Because it’s all heart! Terrible jokes aside, this gin really is all heart, and has landed at MoM Towers just in time for Valentine’s Day (dependant on when you're reading this - if it's after Valentine's Day, consider this advanced preparation for next Valentine's Day). If you’re stuck for a gift for your drinks lover this 14 February, here’s the answer!
Made with the usual Edinburgh Gin goodness, plus a gentle infusion of rose petals and hibiscus flowers, this juniper-led fruity-floral gin is ideal in an array of romantic cocktails.
Wondering how to impress your date with a Valentine's cocktail? The folks at Edinburgh Gin have just the thing – here's how to make The First Kiss!
Ingredients:
• 35ml Edinburgh Valentines Gin
• 15ml Edinburgh Gin Raspberry Liqueur
• 60ml pineapple juice
Add the gin, liqueur, and pineapple juice to a shaker with ice. Shake, then double-strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a fresh raspberry.
Still juniper-forward, but the rose petals are immediately prominent. The floral sweetness is balanced out with coriander spice and earthy heather.
