Need some gin-spiration for a garden gathering this weekend ? The folks at Otterbeck Distillery near Skipton share some sparkling recipes using their Cotton Gin

G&T:

50ml Cotton Gin

Premium Indian tonic water

Method: Add the sin to a large glass (we recommend a stemless copa) 4/5ths full of cubed ice. Top with premium tonic water and gently stir.

Garnish with lemon peel twirl and sprig of rosemary.

*To make clear ice, use pre boiled water.

** For the best experience keep both the gin and tonic in the fridge.
