St David's Garden
Fresh, fragrant and unmistakably Welsh, the St David's Garden is a cocktail that captures the feeling of wandering through a flourishing cottage garden on a warm afternoon. Made with our Eccentric Spirit Co Dewi Sant Gin, it's a light and refreshing serve that celebrates the vibrant botanicals at the heart of this uniquely Welsh spirit.
Dewi Sant Gin is crafted with a carefully selected blend of botanicals that create a bright, herbaceous profile. Paired with cooling cucumber, fragrant mint, elderflower and fresh lemon juice, it becomes the perfect foundation for a crisp garden cocktail that's as elegant as it is easy to make.
St David's Garden Recipe:
- 50ml Eccentric Spirit Co Dewi Sant Gin
- 25ml Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 15ml elderflower syrup
- 2 slices fresh cucumber
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- Cucumber and mint to garnish
Add the cucumber slices to a cocktail shaker and gently muddle to release their fresh flavour. Clap the mint leaves between your hands to awaken their aroma, then add them to the shaker. Pour in the Dewi Sant Gin, fresh lemon juice and elderflower syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled. Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with cucumber and a fresh mint sprig.
The result is a wonderfully refreshing cocktail with bright citrus, delicate floral sweetness and cooling garden-fresh notes that let the character of Eccentric Dewi Sant Gin shine through.
Raise a glass to Wales, to great gin, and to sharing good times with friends.
Iechyd da!
