Now that summer seems to be finally on the horizon, it seems apt to share some delicious drinks recipes that are easy to make at home! With early evening BBQs and last-minute get-togethers, these 4 cocktails offer something for everyone and use ingredients and mixers that are easy to find and quick to throw together!
The Cornish Cup
Using one of our own spirits, this light drink is the perfect summer refreshment, and it's super easy to put together. Make a jug if you've got people coming over, or throw a couple together for a tasty pre-dinner treat. Just remember plenty of ice! 50ml Curio Cornish Cup100ml Ginger AleA squeeze of orangeOrange zest to garnish
The Cornish Lemonade
Like the classic London Lemonade, but with a twist! Using our rock samphire gin to evoke the fresh aromas of the Cornish Coast, this simple mixer is always a crowd-pleaser. Use high-quality lemonade (or try making your own!) and serve over plenty of ice for a truly refreshing drink. 25ml Curio Rock Samphire Gin100ml Lemonade (we recommend Franklin & Sons Ltd.)Lemon zest & mint to garnish
The Greyhound
If gin isn't your thing, then this zingy vodka based cocktail is just as good. Pairing warm cardamom with zesty grapefruit makes for a balanced and easy-drinking cocktail- and it's a beautiful summery colour! 50ml Curio Cardamom Vodka200ml Fentimans Pink Grapefruit Tonic Water (or grapefruit & soda will do).A squeeze of limeLime zest to garnish
Elderflower Southside
This super refreshing cocktail is like a mojito, but with gin (which, in our opinion, improves any drink!), and made with elderflower tonic for a sweet twist. Serve over lots of ice, and with plenty of mint. 50ml Curio Fly Navy Gin200ml Luscombe Elderflower TonicThe juice of one limeA handful of mint leavesLet us know what your favourite summer cocktail recipes are, and tag us in your photos on Instagram using the hashtag #CurioSummerSpirit Curio summer gin cocktails
