Vanilla Orchid Gin Cocktail
By Gill Murray 25 May 2017
Ingredients:
- 35ml Daffy's Gin
- 25ml lemon juice
- 12.5ml vanilla syrup
- Half a passion fruit
- 5 mint leaves
- 25ml egg white
- Champagne, Cava or Prosecco
Method
- Shake the Daffy's Gin, lemon juice, egg white and vanilla syrup in a cocktail shaker.
- Add ice and shake again to cool.
- Strain your cocktail into a long flute glass and top up with fizz poured over the back of a spoon to prevent spilling over.
- Garnish with mint leaves and passion fruit.
This delicious cocktail was one of my favourites in a recent shoot for Daffy's Gin (tough job!).
Passion fruit, Gin and Prosecco make a deliciously fruity combination that goes down a treat while soaking up the summer sun in the garden. The vanilla gives it a slightly decadent note with mint to liven up your tastebuds and add a flavour of far-off beaches and balmy holiday nights.
The botanicals that Daffy's steep and distill are a combination of the traditional juniper, coriander seeds and cassia bark but with the addition of Lebanese mint to create a classic, complex and perfectly balanced gin.
If you've never tried it, Daffy's can be found in Provender Brown, Perth city's home of great gins.
