Here at Craft Gin Club, we say: who needs dessert when you can drink it? If you love a sweet, creamy dessert cocktail, then you’re in for a treat…

We’ve created a beautiful recipe inspired by a Black Forest gateau for an elegant after-dinner gin cocktail. With just a couple of ingredients, this cherry twist on a classic Gin Alexander will impress your gin pals!⁠

With mouth-watering white chocolate liqueur (known as creme de cacao blanc), the gorgeous juniper notes from the gin, sweet vanilla and almond tones from the cherry brandy and cream to give it a decadent texture, we know you’ll love this cocktail. It combines all of our favourite flavours in one sumptuous sip!

It’s a win-win - as it looks like a total masterpiece, but it’s surprisingly quick and easy to put together. If you make it, be sure to send us your snaps - or enter them into our monthly Sip & Snap! competition…
