Alright, let’s set the scene. Christmas is approaching, the vibe’s getting festive, and you've got a bottle of NU ERA SPIRITS London Dry Gin looking at you like it owes you money. Here’s the plan: we’re going to make a classic Christmas gin cocktail, perfect for getting you through those “just one more” family Zoom calls.
Don’t worry – it's simple, tasty, and festive enough to make you feel like you’ve put in some effort.
Ingredients:
- 50ml NU ERA SPIRITS London Dry Gin (the main player here, bringing the botanicals)
- 150ml premium tonic water (don’t even think about going budget here, it’ll ruin the whole vibe)
- 1 cinnamon stick (because it's Christmas and we’re all trying a bit too hard)
- 2 slices of fresh orange (festive, plus a little vitamin C because apparently that matters)
- A handful of ice (as much as you can manage without frostbite)
Instructions:
-
Grab a glass – ideally, something large enough to fit all this in. I mean, we’re not doing Christmas in shot glasses, are we?
-
Add the ice – and I mean fill it up. We’re not here to drink lukewarm gin. Ice it up people.
-
Pour in the NU ERA SPIRITS London Dry Gin – 50ml should do it, but look, if you’ve had a day of Christmas shopping, throw in a bit extra. Who’s judging? (Well, maybe the in-laws on the Zoom call, but we don’t care about that.)
-
Top it with tonic water – a good glug of premium tonic, because if you’re going cheap here, you might as well not bother. You’re just ruining a perfectly good gin at that point.
-
Add the cinnamon stick – chuck it in there, let it float around like it’s on some sort of Christmas holiday itself.
-
Garnish with two slices of orange – one for the look, one to actually squeeze in for a bit of zesty flavour.
-
Give it a lazy stir – we’re not entering a cocktail competition. Just a gentle nudge will do.
-
Sip and enjoy – sit back, relax, and remember you’re one glass closer to surviving another Christmas. Cheers.
And there you have it: a Christmas gin & tonic with NU ERA SPIRITS.
