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
Method
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.
