This gorgeous, deep red cocktail recipe is brimming with stunning dark fruit flavours that are perfect for the winter season. A mix of gin and Purdey’s Refocus Dark Fruits, it is not to be missed!

Purdey’s Refocus Dark Fruits is bursting with authentic fruit flavours that work so well with the rich juniper of a good craft London dry gin.

The Punt e Mes vermouth then adds sumptuous spice tones while the fresh thyme leaves add a delicious herbaceousness that is simply divine.

All of those flavours are rounded out wonderfully by a touch of sweet simple syrup to give you a cocktail experience that is layered and complex and perfect for anyone that loves dark fruit flavours.

We can’t wait for you to give this one a try!

Why Purdey’s?

Purdey’s were one of the very first brands to create natural energy drinks using all-natural plant-based ingredients to help people feel good and do good things.

Today, each of the fabulous energy drinks they create is full of vitamins like vitamins B2, B3, B6, and B12, which help to reduce fatigue and add to your normal energy-yielding metabolism, and vitamin C which helps to support your immune system.

The team here at Craft Gin Club HQ love mixing Purdey’s with gin so much that we have included their Replenish Raspberry & Rose edition in our February 2023 Gin of the Month box for members to try. You need to give it and their Rejuvenate Grape & Apple edition a go in the cocktails below - they are so delicious!

3 fresh raspberries
150ml Purdey’s Replenish Raspberry & Rose
Fresh raspberry or lemon peel, to garnish
