New Gin cocktails 2021

Gin has a distinctive scent and taste that can be classified right away. The main ingredient in gin is Juniper Berries which is where this beverage gets its name. In french Juniper berries are “Genievre”. However, it was shortened to just “Gin” which is how it’s known worldwide now.

Even though gin’s main ingredient is juniper berries, there are many creative ways to create delicious cocktails with this liquor. We do not mean to change or mask its natural notes, but instead to enhance it to softy tasty. 

Gin has always been a popular liquor at events. However guests didn’t know what else to pair it with, but tonic water. Yes, a Gin and Tonic is quite tasty and low calorie too, which is a big bonus nowadays. Therefore, we decided to come up with a new mixture to change things up from the classic Gin and Tonic. We highly suggest to try it even if you are not a big fan of gin. We might just change your mind after these delicious mixtures. 

Healthy Choice Drink

If we still haven’t been convinced to try some gin, then let me also persuade you that it is also a healthier alternative. Like mentioned before, it is lower in calories compared to other liquors. However, it will also reduce allergies, and coughs due to hay fevers, while other liquors may increase your symptoms. There are many other benefits that are worth knowing. 

Okay so now that you are convinced, let’s get started with the ingredients and directions. 

Pomegranate Gin Mule

If you tried the classic Moscow Mule then you already know the twist in this Gin Mule. All it takes is some ginger beer, syrup, and some lime juice to make a beverage a “mule”. The classic way consists of vodka. However, with gin it takes it to another level. It is definitely a must try, and if you want to make it even tastier add a little bit of pomegranate juice. We believe the pomegranate juice is the cherry on top. It really ties in this beverage very well. In fact, we recently had an event, and this Mule was one of the signature drinks. I kid you not, everybody was enjoying this Pomegranate Mule all night long, one after another! They were literally drinking this cocktail like juice. It is a party favorite.

Once done, fill up your glass with ice and strain your cocktail into your glass. With the remaining space, fill up your glass with ginger beer. Stir and garnish with some mint and lime wheels.

Citrus Gin Cocktail

Gin is quite tasty when paired with citrus fruits. Beside the juniper berries, gin also contains citrus notes. Therefore when, this beverage blends very well with other citrus fruits with the right measurements. We decided to choose lemon, and orange as our mixtures for citrus. Both are soft in taste yet have a bit of sweetness to them. Lime is quite stronger and more bitter that it might mask instead of enhance in this case. Moreover, we added blue curacao to add more citrus notes and give it a beautiful tropical color. This is such a refreshing cocktail that will quench your thirst because it is not an overly sweet or surgery drink. It is in fact, a low calorie choice that many of you will love.
