Garden Gin

So my boyfriend Greg is the biggest fan of gin and is always challenging me to come up with new and quirky ideas. As he is a chef he gave me some garden herbs to see what I could create and voila the Garden Gin was born.

What you’ll need (makes 2):

• 2 sprigs of parsley
• 2 sprigs of Sage
• 2 sprigs of Rosemary
• 4 shots of gin (I like to use Hendricks or Bombay Sapphire)
• 2 small bottles of tonic water
• Ice
• Cocktail mixer
• Shot measure
• Jam Jars

How to create it:

1. Fill the jam jar with cubed or crushed ice and set to one side.
2. In the cocktail mixer add the gin, then rub the sprigs of herbs between your hands to release the essence of them. Add these into the cocktail mixer and give it all a good shake.
3. Once shaken take the herbs out of the cocktail mix and place to one side.
4. Pour the rest of the mixture into the jam jar and top up with tonic.
5. Add the sprigs into the glass as decoration.
6. Enjoy!
