GIN SOURS, FOUR WAYS
Cocktail shakers at the ready, here are four of our favourite Gin Sour recipes!
Out of all the gin drinks we’ve ever shaken, stirred or poured at our Healesville Distillery, there’s one cocktail that always comes out on top. A Bloody Gin Sour. In one month alone, the team shook over 600 of them. Which is how our team mantra became: Who needs weights when you’ve got a full cocktail shaker?
So for our 2023 release of Limited Edition Bloody Shiraz Gin, we put a fizzy spin on this crowd favourite and (very creatively) called it a Winter Fizz.
Shake 50mL Bloody Shiraz Gin, 15mL fresh lime juice, 15mL Maraschino liqueur and some egg white or aquafaba over ice. Strain into a Highball glass, top with grapefruit soda and garnish with a lime wheel. What a bloody delight.
