Inspired by the wonderful abundance of daffodils that come into bloom in spring all around Wales, the home of Craft Gin Club’s April 2022 Gin of the Month, In the Welsh Wind Signature Style Gin, our master mixologist Maria Vieira has created a fabulous new gin cocktail recipe: Craft Gin Club’s Gin Daffodil!
Craft Gin Club’s April 2022 Cocktail of the Month, this beautiful cocktail recipe mixes the In the Welsh Wind gin with Heartsease Farm Traditional Lemonade and our bespoke Gin Daffodil cocktail syrup. The cocktail is then garnished with a ribbon of rhubarb and blackberries.
Citrusy and sweet in all the right places, it’s a must-try! Luckily for Craft Gin Club members, they can find the main ingredients for this cocktail in their April 2022 Gin of the Month box.
How do you create a rhubarb ribbon cocktail garnish?
Creating a ribbon of rhubarb to garnish your cocktail is easy to do at home. All you need is a stalk of rhubarb, a knife and a peeler. Here’s how it’s done:
Wash the rhubarb and trim the ends. Using the peeler, peel a ribbon of rhubarb from the full length of the stalk. Carefully wind the ribbon around the inside of the glass, pressing gently as you go, finishing at the top. Add your ice to the glass, which will hold the ribbon in place. Enjoy!
