Berkshire Botanical
Rhubarb & Raspberry
Tart stewed rhubarb up front, then raspberry — jammy rather than sweet, with the pips' dry edge. Juniper sits underneath and keeps it a gin rather than a liqueur. Pink fruit finish, clean and slightly sour.
Serve — suggested, not sourced
Tonic — Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, 1:2 — a plain tonic lets the fruit lead without doubling the sugar
Garnish — A thin ribbon of rhubarb
Bramble
gin · lemon · sugar · creme de mure · blackberries
Shaken sour over crushed ice, blackberry liqueur drizzled through.
Why this gin — The raspberry already in the gin meets the crème de mûre halfway, so the drink tastes of fruit rather than syrup.
