We loved creating today’s Blood Orange Elderflower Cocktail with its spicy, floral taste.

There is something special about the flavour of blood orange. The bitter citrus notes give an extra layer of complexity to a cocktail and this, combined with the spicy ginger of the added ginger beer and the floral sweetness of elderflower, creates a delicious cocktail that is a little lighter for the cooler months.

Ingredients:

  • 30ml The Craft & Co ‘Collingwood Dry’ gin
  • 30ml St Germain elderflower liqueur
  • 14ml lime juice
  • 8ml blood orange juice
  • 60ml ginger beer
  • ice

Method:

In a cocktail shaker combine gin, elderflower liqueur and blood orange juice and shake well

Pour over ice and top with cold ginger beer

Garnish with fresh herbs and citrus slices
