Gin-a-Colada

Creamy and vibrant, when someone says pineapple we think Gin-a-Colada - as any cocktail lover would, of course. Differing from our August 2019 Cocktail of the Month, this recipe uses coconut milk to divine effect.

Ingredients

50ml gin (we recommend something with complex citrus-forward like Sibling Triple Distilled Gin to match the zing of the pineapple)
120ml pineapple juice
60ml coconut cream
Fresh pineapple wedge, to garnish

Method

Pour all of your ingredients into a chilled hurricane glass. Stir and garnish with your pineapple. It couldn’t be easier!

Mango & Gin Daiquiri

Adding gin to this summery cocktail is the perfect way to give yourself a frozen treat this summer. Using fresh mango is the best match the amazing natural flavours of SugarSin’s Fizzy Tropical Gummies.

Ingredients

50ml gin (the orange and spice of Gin 1689 is delightful in this cocktail)
250g mango, diced
100g crushed ice
Juice of half a lime
A sprig of mint, to garnish.

Method

Blend the mango, gin, lime juice and ice. Taste. Depending on the ripeness of your mango you may need to add 15ml of simple syrup to give the cocktail a sweeter touch. Pour into a glass and garnish with the mint.

To make simple syrup: Add 100g of sugar to 100ml of water and stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Cool before using.

Porn Star Martini

Fruity and flavourful, every sip of this passion fruit martini recipe is a party for your taste buds - just like SugarSin’s passion fruit flavoured gummies! Traditionally made with vodka, gin adds a deliciously rich and nuanced flavour to this incredible cocktail.

Ingredients

60ml gin (a good navy strength like Elephant Strength Gin works brilliantly here)
15ml Passoa Liqueur (a passion fruit flavoured liqueur available at Tesco and ASDA)
15ml vanilla syrup
15ml lime juice
Seeds of half a passion fruit
Champagne, to top

Method

For the vanilla syrup: Add the seeds of one vanilla pod and the pod itself to the 100g of sugar and 100ml of water. Stir on medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool, then remove the pod.

Add ice to a shaker. Then add the gin, Passoa Liqueur, vanilla syrup, lime juice and passion fruit seeds to the shaker and stir well. Strain into a martini glass and top up with champagne.

Half a kiwi peeled and diced as finely as possible
Lime wedge
Crushed iced
A sprig of mint, to garnish
Lime wheel, to garnish
