<\/p>\nAfter last year, what we all need on Valentine’s Day is a hug. We bring you three cocktails each of which is tantamount to a hug in a glass. This is 2021, so it’s out with the old and in in with the \u2018new normal’. Think of gin not solely as an aperitif or Champagne as the obvious go-to choice. English gin is the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n
Brockmans Gin cocktails\u00a0 taste every bit as glamorous as they look and will take you through the evening.<\/p>\n
Brockmans Curious Blue, brimming with blueberry notes to complement this extraordinary gin, with its blueberry and blackberry notes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
80ml Brockmans Gin
\n20ml Blueberry liqueur
\n20ml Lemon juice
\n120ml Blueberry puree (bought in a sachet or home-made using about 200g of fresh or frozen berries)
\n100-140ml Ginger beer
\nGarnish: Dry ice (optional); blueberries or mint<\/p>\n
Method<\/p>\n
Shake the first four ingredients with ice. Strain into tall Collins glasses filled with a few dry ice pellets topped with ice cubes and then top with the ginger beer.<\/p>\n
