I've recently discovered a pretty remarkable new gin: Nolets. When you take a sip, you're immediately overwhelmed by the strong floral elements, particularly rose, as well as hints of peaches and raspberries. It's light, refreshing, and surprisingly pleasing as a gin. If you're one of those people who can't stand the piney flavor of traditional gin, this might be the spirit for you.
Once you add berry flavors to this already light drink, add a bit of fizz, it become a tantalizingly addictive drink:
- one part Nolets gin
- one part simple syrup
- one part lemon juice
- club soda to fill the glass
- berries in the shaker and as a garnish
Direction: Fill up the shaker with plenty of ice, and any kind of berry. Add in the gin, syrup and lemon juice and shake thoroughly, enough to crush the berries inside. Next, strain the drink and pour into an ice-filled glass, add some club soda to fill the glass, and garnish with berries. Place on top of a wooden crate, take a picture, then sip away. Easy.
Enjoy!
