A Vodka Cocktail for World Cocktail Day
It's World Cocktail Day - and just because the team here are alcohol free while we're training for our Helicopter Half Marathon, it doesn't mean you should - especially not while the sun's out and everything is looking lovely here in west Wales. We've mixed up a fruity, citrus Welsh vodka cocktail which features our Three Grain Vodka. It really is delicious - and could even be our serve of the summer, although it is still only May.
This cocktail really shows off the grain flavour in our premium Three Grain Vodka. We're calling it Grain and Glory.
Mix up a Welsh Vodka Cocktail
Our Grain and Glory Welsh Vodka cocktail is really easy to mix up. Orchard fruits, a squeeze of lime and some ginger cordial - and of course our Three Grain Welsh Vodka. If you're training like us, you can just as easily leave out the vodka, for a refreshing and alcohol free serve - but if you're looking for a treat to enjoy as the sun goes down, this is pretty near perfect! We do recommend choosing our Three Grain Vodka here - it doesn't just provide an alcohol hit, but the natural sweetness and grain complexity introduces a depth of flavour complemented by the orchard fruits.
