Advent Cocktail... Holidays are coming

Wednesday, 22 December 2010

Here's something a little different from the usual Christmas tipple of Eggnog and Mulled Wine. It's an Advent Cocktail called the Watermelon Ling, and here's what you need and how you make it...


Watermelon Ling

2 shots Seagrams gin
1 tsp grated ginger
4-5 watermelon chunks
3/4 shot lemon/lime juice
½ shot ginger infused sugar
Topped with ginger beer


London dry gin muddled with fresh root ginger, watermelon, lime juice and jasmine infused sugar. Shake and strain over ice. Charge with ginger beer. Serve tall garnished with watermelon, white petals and ginger-orange gin based caviar*.

* You might want to miss this bit out. For some inexplicable reason, my local Tesco is out of 'gin based caviar' right now. Must be all the Watermelon Lings everyone's making right now.
