3 cocktail recipes with Gin FIOR

Three to be precise. Here are three delicious cocktail recipes that are perfectly suited to Gin FIOR. Whether you like it summery and elegant, berry and refreshing or classic and full of character - these Gin FIOR cocktail recipes can do it all. Let them inspire you!

Recipe #1: Sicilian Gimlet

This gimlet variation with gin FIOR adds a little blood orange juice to the original recipe and gives the simple gin cocktail an elegant touch that will transport you to the glowing evening red coast of Sicily in terms of color and taste. Perfect for really hot summer evenings or as a special kick for garden and birthday parties.

Summer cocktail recipe: The Gin FIOR Sicilian Gimlet

Ingredients (for 2 portions):

• 12 cl Gin FIOR
• 4 cl freshly squeezed lime juice
• 4 cl sugar syrup
• 6 cl freshly squeezed blood orange juice
• 2 orange zests
• 2 sprigs of thyme
• Brown sugar (optional)

Preparation:

1. Place ice cubes in a shaker.
2. Add gin FIOR, sugar syrup and lime and blood orange juice. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker ices up.
3. Fill two highball glasses with ice cubes & strain the gimlet.
4. Garnish each with a sprig of thyme & orange zest.

Pro tip: For a more sophisticated version, serve the Sicilian Gimlet in a cocktail bowl. To do this, place the brown sugar on a plate, moisten the rim of the glasses and dip them in the sugar. When serving in the cocktail bowl, you can dispense with ice cubes in the glass. Ideally, place the glasses in the freezer beforehand!

Recipe #2: Raspberry Thyme Smash

The intense red color already gives it away - the Raspberry Thyme Smash with Gin FIOR is a real fruit bomb. The sweet and sour aromas of the raspberries have a worthy partner in the thyme, which balances out the taste and gives the cocktail a little more complexity.

In combination with the London Dry Gin from Austria, the Raspberry Thyme Smash is a real powerhouse. It is perfect as an impressive aperitif, at cocktail parties - or as a fruity refreshment in between.

Recipe #3: FIOR Negroni

We recommend the FIOR Negroni to all those who love a more classic drink and are not afraid of slightly more tart notes. The forefather of all pre-dinner drinks is given a light, aromatic twist made in Austria, which gives the Negroni its very own FIOR gin character. Tastes good anytime, anywhere.
