Review

Weekly Gin Recommendation
- Weekly Gin Recommendation is Leonards Lee Gardens Botanical Gin
- Leonards Lee is very close to where I live and I was given this as Christmas by Jon and Elaine. Shout out to you two.
- It is from a really exciting gin distillery very close to me called Cabin Pressure spirits and it really embodies the true kind of country garden flavour in a lovely floral gin
- The nose of the gin has a sweet floral aroma
- The flavour profile starts with a dryness followed by a rose flavour sweetened by the honey and elongate with the chamomile. At the end of the profile you get the lavender which is a really lovely bonus.
- In tonic the flavour completely changes and the lavender really comes to the front of the profile.
- I think this would be really interesting in a cocktail with a lavender based sugar syrup of The Starlino Rose Aperitivo. The are so many interesting flavours to play off.
- I didn't think I would be saying this but this has definitely got to the top of my long buying list and one I would really recommend trying. They also do a 10cl bottle which is really good for testing purposes.
The Ying and Yang of Sugar Syrups
- Alcohol often is not calorific but a few cocktails are not the best thing for you but we still like to have them
- You know not great safest way to browse the internet have not internet
- Interesting experiment as I have finished quite a few of the peripheral spirits like Strawberry and Raspberry liqueurs etc could I replace them with sugar syrup
- Double whammy of sugar hit and high performance taste
- The answer is a profound yes. Less alcohol. More taste
- So I decided to buy Le Sirop de Monin. I have had their sugar syrup for ages. For the live tonight Tristan encourage me to buy one which started off this process
- If you want to know about that one you will have to listen in tonight
- Strawberry - already used in Daiquiri but would like to use in Martini. Rich taste
- Blackberry - lots of serves recently by Nessymixedit which included this
- Hibiscus - really gorgeous flavour. Bit Campriesequ dry so I have found adding additional Raspberries good idea
- Raspberry - would be ideal with Marie Jeanne or Stockport’s Pink gin. Really lovely flavour or Rhamanta
- Honey - lots of hot serves recently have had honey in. Really nice not too sweet and really runny. Does not work with pancakes as it is a bit insipid.
- Pineapple - really looking forward to using this very soon. Not quite sure how.
- So many other flavours like floral Rose, Lavender or Violet
- Coconut or Passionfruit Mango or Vanilla
- Cherry, Ginger, Lychee (Claire at The Edge Gin)
- Go out there and try them. I sincerely don’t think that you will disappointed.
