–RecipeCape Floral Cocktail
This bright and bubbly cocktail is a nod to the abundant Cape floral kingdom (with over 9,500 species!) some of which are used to make Inverroche gins.
- Fill a stemmed glass with ice
- Pour 50ml of Inverroche Classic Gin
- Add 25ml of raspberry syrup (as per the method below)
- Add 25ml of fresh lemon juice
- Add 75ml of sparkling wine
- Stir until mixed well and garnish with fresh raspberries
To prepare the raspberry syrup, add 1 cup of raspberries to a pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a medium simmer and let the raspberries cook for about 20 minutes. Skim any foam that rises to the top. After about 20 minutes, the raspberries will have lost most of their colour and the water should be deep pink/red in colour. Remove from heat. Strain the raspberry liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into another clean pot, separating the solid berries from the liquid. Once the raspberry liquid has been strained, discard the solid berries. Add 2 cups of sugar to the raspberry liquid. Bring back to a boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar into the syrup. Let the syrup simmer for 5 minutes till the sugar is completely dissolved.
