Easy Blood Orange Gin Gimlet co*cktail Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What is the best mixer for Beefeater blood orange gin? ›

As you might imagine, we recommend mixing this gin with tonic waters that have herbaceous notes, like Fever-Tree Meditarean Tonic Water. For a garnish, rosemary or thyme or both work really well. Together, they make for a fantastic G&T! Other great mixers include ginger ale and classic tonic waters.

After distilling with the fresh fruit, we then leave the gin to macerate with more blood oranges. Due to their jammy nature we don't need to add more than a dash of sugar to the mix. A simple wash of dried hibiscus flowers from the markets of Marrakesh help us to bolster the ruby colouring of the gin.

Synonymous with refinement, Tanqueray is an excellent choice for those looking for an elevated gimlet experience. However, if you are in the mood for a classic and like bold juniper notes, you cannot go wrong with Gordon's in your gimlet.

Premium Juice Blood Orange Sour Mixer

Its sweet flavor, tinged with hints of berry, and exotic crimson-colored flesh blend perfectly in our blood orange mixer. We've combined it with single-pressed California lemon juice and Mexican lime juice for an unexpected and exotic twist on sour mix.

GIN & TONIC

This is paired perfectly with Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic. Ingredients (Serves 1): 50ml of The Gin To My Tonic Orange & Passionfruit Gin. 1 bottle of Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic.

Drinking gin straight is the simplest and most traditional way to enjoy this spirit. It allows you to fully appreciate the complexity of the botanicals and flavors in your gin.

We take fresh oranges, peel them and distil them with a dry gin. It has a bold orange flavour yet still tastes like gin. This gin has one of the lowest amounts of sugar of our flavoured gins.

Combine gin, lime juice, and simple syrup in a co*cktail shaker. Add ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a chilled co*cktail glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.

What gin do bartenders use? ›

My personal favorite gins for co*cktails are Bully Boy's Estate Gin & Short Path Distillery's London Dry Gin, both local to me in Massachusetts! Both lend themselves to mixing in a co*cktail without overpowering other flavors, whether it's a Dirty Martini (my fave), or a more complex co*cktail.

You can't go wrong with a juniper-forward London dry gin, which works with nearly any juice you can source, from lemon and lime to orange and grapefruit. Softer gins can work great, too, but depending on their botanical makeup, they may pair better with sweeter OJ or more sour grapefruit.

Blood orange pair well with all types of less acidic fruit. These kinds of fruits attenuate blood orange's tartness, therefore: apricots, figs, strawberries, lime, lemon, mango, apples, melon and peaches. A marriage with pineapple mitigates the sour and slightly sulphurous notes of this orange.

We love tonics with citrus flavours like lemon or grapefruit that let our botanicals sing. When we're feeling more adventurous, yuzu, pepper and even rose tonics pair well with Beefeater.

The fresh citrus flavours of blood orange tune perfectly with the classic notes of juniper and citrus of Beefeater Gin. The result is the bold, finely balanced, contemporary Beefeater Blood Orange Gin.

The perfect serve for Gordon's Mediterranean Orange Gin is easy – just add ice and tonic.
