EASTER TIPPLES

Wine ’ s lovely , there ’ s no question about that , but why not mix it up this Easter and introduce a couple of easy to make and even easier to drink cocktails into the mix ? We ’ ve found a lovely little gin number that can be sipped throughout your meal and a delicious vodka ‘ nightcap ’ to end proceedings .
BULLDOG TOM COLLINS
With its unique bold , black bottle and distinctive botanical flavour , BULLDOG is a modern gin that has been quietly causing a stir on the gin scene . Made using only the best quality British wheat and water , BULLDOG starts as a triple-distilled , neutral grain spirit and is then distilled once more to deliver a smooth , satisfying taste .
INGREDIENTS :
• 60ml BULLDOG Gin
• 30ml freshly pressed lemon juice
• 30ml sugar syrup
• 90ml premium soda water
METHOD :
1 . Shake the gin , lemon juice and syrup together with ice then pour over cubed ice in a Collins glass .
2 . Top with premium soda water and garnish with a lemon twist and a maraschino cherry .
THE NIGHTCAP
This velvety smooth vodka is as untouched as possible . Made from the highest quality peaches and cream corn , distilled four times into a neutral grain spirit and blended with pristine water from Newfoundland , Canada , the liquid is then filtered seven times , of which three are through layers of semi-precious crystals known as Herkimer diamonds .
INGREDIENTS :
• 50ml Crystal Head vodka
• 20ml premium coffee liqueur
• 1 freshly brewed expresso shot
• Chocolate shavings or coffee beans
METHOD :
1 . Pour Crystal Head , coffee liqueur and expresso into a shaker filled with ice . Shake vigorously to create froth then strain into a martini glass .
2 . Garnish with chocolate shavings , finely crushed coffee beans , or both .
