Cassis & Lavender G & T.
This Provence inspired Gin and tonic has been on the menu since the day we opened in 2018.
It’s a spin on a classic Gin & Tonic with a good squeeze of citron vert ( lime ) and a good splash of lavender syrup, the fragrant, sweet herbaceous flavour adds a warm depth to this cocktail, aswell as the fruity sharp shot of Crème de Cassis.
We use the brilliant Citadelle French Gin as the base and top it with Mediterranean tonic water
INGREDIENTS
25ml Gin ( French Citadel Gin is excellent if you can find it )
12.5ml Giffard Crème de Cassis
12.5ml Monin Lavender Syrup
100ml Fevertree Mediterranean Tonic water ( if not Schweppes Indian Tonic water )
1/8 Lime - squeeze and leave in glass
1 Highball filled with ice.
1 Sprig lavender from the neighbours garden!
METHOD
- Pour all ingredients ( apart from tonic ) onto ice into a highball ( make sure you add ice first so when pouring ingredients the ice catches the flavours as much as possible ), squeeze your lime wedge and stir in the glass.
- Top up with the tonic and stir again.
- Garnish with that stolen Lavender sprig.
