What’s the secret ingredient to these scrumptious serves?

Do you mean aside from quality craft gin? Well, that would have to be the amazing sparkling mixers from Nix & Kix at the core of each recipe.

These luscious soft drinks are free from sweeteners and caffeine yet bursting with incredible flavour, all given an added zing from the addition of cayenne pepper.

In the hands of the skilled team at Nix & Kix, the cayenne pepper is used to enhance the flavours of the other ingredients, enlivening the juicy mangos and crisp mint in the Nix & Kix Mango Ginger and Cucumber Mint editions we sent to lucky Craft Gin Club members in their August 2022 Gin of the Month box.

With their wonderful bubbles and zinging flavour profiles, we even love to use them as an alternative to tonic water when we are looking for a quick hit of vibrant flavour in our gin drinks.

Give them a go in these two lip-smacking cocktail recipes!
