Curious 75: Curiosity Gin

One of our favourites is still the first we ever developed for our own gin. It’s the Curious 75, a version of the classic French 75 using Curiosity Gin Recipe #23.

Ingredients

• 30ml Curiosity Recipe #23 Gin
• 15ml sugar syrup
• 15ml lemon juice
• dash orange bitters
• sparkling rosé
• orange peel for garnish

Pour all ingredients except the sparkling rosé into a shaker over ice. Shake together and strain into a chilled coupé glass or champagne flute (150ml). Top up with the rosé.

 

Breakfast Martini: Lyttelton Distillery

This was created by bartender Salvatore Calabrese when his wife insisted he have some toast and marmalade instead of just a martini for breakfast.

Ingredients

• 15ml Cointreau
• 15ml lemon juice
• 50ml Peninsula Gin
• 1 tsp marmalade (orange but no rind)

Method

In a shaking glass, add the marmalade, gin, lemon juice and Cointreau. Next, break down the marmalade by mixing with a bar spoon before adding ice and shaking well. Shake for slightly longer than normal to mix the marmalade properly before straining into a chilled martini glass. Extra marmalade, a single slice of thin toast and one semi hardboiled egg can be eaten alongside.
