Christmas cocktails are a staple of the festive season, and if you’re looking for a seasonal but grown-up option, Eden Mill Candy Cane Christmas Gin is worth considering.
Despite its bright appearance and saccharine name, this is not a super-sweet gin. Instead it is distinctly pepperminty, with a background of berries that makes it ideal for festive drinks for those less keen on the super-sweet.
The result is a drink that evokes the true traditional taste of candy canes, and which makes a great base for festive cocktails. Here are five to consider this Christmas.
Christmas gin and tonic
A classic with a twist, this a great way to make your go-to drink seasonally appropriate, while putting peppery zest above sweetness.
- Pour 35ml of Candy Cane Christmas Gin over ice
- Top with a premium tonic
- Garnish with blackberries
Candy and cranberries
An alternative to the classic G&T that is quick to make but keeps the flavours adult-friendly.
- Pour 35ml of Candy Cane Christmas Gin over ice
