[dropcap]A[/dropcap]s Valentines Is almost upon us, and as I’m a self-confessed liker of gin, here are two great Valentines themed cocktails that are guaranteed to warm even the coldest of hearts this Valentines Day:

Daffys Gin, The Rose Bud

The spec is as follows:

  • 40mls Daffy’s
  • 15mls Rose vermouth
  • 25mls fresh lemon
  • 15mls grenadine
  • 25mls egg white
  • 2 dashes rose water
  • Franklin & Sons strawberry mixer

Top up with Franklin & Sons and garnish with three rose buds in the centre, and cracked black pepper on the side. Shake, and serve straight up in a classic coupette.

NB Gin, Raspberry Clover Club

How many of you have ever tried a Clover Club? They’re delicious! The beauty of these cocktails is that they are super quick and easy to make.
The spec is as follows:

  • Grab 35ml of NB Gin,
  • 15ml raspberry syrup,
  • 20ml fresh lemon juice
  • 1 egg white

Place all these ingredients into a Boston mixer and shake well. Next, strain into a Martini glass and garnish with a raspberry. Enjoy!
