Looking for a sophisticated and elegant gin mixer? Allow us to introduce the Tame & Wild range, a gorgeous range of artisan sparkling drinks that blend together English fruits and botanicals from the heart of Yorkshire. With their unique and beautiful mix of flavours, they make elegance and sophistication look easy - not to mention oh-so-pretty!
We think they make the perfect pairing for our favourite craft gins, which is why you’ll find them in our March 2022 Gin of the Month box to enjoy in a refreshing Ramble cocktail. You can enjoy them alone and with a splash of gin as a low-alcoholic alternative, or mixed up in each of the four gorgeous cocktails below, created to complement the beautiful flavours in their range. Give them a go - they’re as delicious as they are pretty!
Wild Bouquet
This beautiful cocktail was invented by the amazing team at Tame & Wild. It’s a mouth-watering mix of gin, citrusy pink grapefruit juice, sweet honey water and the delectable Tame & Wild Damson & Rosehip. Finished with fresh grapefruit and a herbaceous sprig of rosemary, this is one remarkable spring cocktail.

25ml gin
15ml pink grapefruit juice
10ml lemon juice
1 tsp honey
Tame & Wild Damson & Rosehip, to top up
Fresh grapefruit and a spring of rosemary, to garnish
Method
Shake the gin, grapefruit juice, lemon juice and honey with lots of ice and then strain into a coupe glass and top up with Tame & Wild Damson & Rosehip. Garnish and enjoy!
Rhubarb & Elderberry Gimlet
A refreshing twist on the classic Gimlet cocktail, this recipe balances the sour citrus notes with creamy vanilla and fruity rhubarb from Tame & Wild Rhubarb & Elderberry. It’s like a sophisticated sparkling dessert!

Salty Wild Dog
This twist on the traditional Salty Dog cocktail, which usually mixes just gin or vodka, grapefruit juice and salt, is made by adding juicy, berry flavours of Tame & Wild Blueberry & Dandelion. It’s a scrumptious cocktail and we can’t get enough!

35ml grapefruit juice
100ml Tame & Wild Blueberry & Dandelion
Grapefruit peel and salt rim, to garnish

Summer Berry Highball

Summer refreshment never tasted so good!
