|
starting from the premise that a ship nelson would have recognized often got it right i had a sartori regarding the classic G and T
fizzy is not needed was the first discovery
there have been others
a few basics, gin comes with many flavours
well balanced juniper and rhubarb and ginger are featured
over flavoured is nasty and some flavours just dont seem to work for grogs
i will refer to g and grg as required
a 400ml glass is ideal
basic grog
slice of citrus, lemon or lime will do
g or grg ( you will notice that this has no amounts but end up with around 5% alchohol is ok for a warm day)
lime cordial(use less with posh ones, it needs bite but you need to keep your teeth)
top up with the best water you have
that one is very adaptable
the next one is a bit more sophisticated
pt 1
fine slice enough lemons/limes to fill a jar
sift with light brown sugar(or similar)
pack jar
top up with g to the brim, seal, put in fridge, shake weekly
pt 2
make grog as above but using the jar contents and missing out the lime cordial
that is good
but pt2.1
half jar liquor half grg and a fresh citrus slice is rather nice
there are variations on those themes but start from there and play with it
pt 3
grapefruit juice and grg + water is rather nice
pt4 not grog but ace
strawberries, prep and divide into 2/3 vs 1/3
best ones slice fine
dress with brown sugar, salt, black pepper, good balsamic vinegar(it only needs a little)
put in glass, cover with a enough g and a lid in the fridge for 12 hrs
less good 2/3
blend with a little g, black mint
fridge 12 hrs
drinkies mix from that
1pt blended
2 pt grg
1pt strawberry g juices
dress with sliced strawberries, microfine lime slices and a pinch of freshly crushed black mint
that one is splendid, not grog, hardcore and delicious cocktail:wink:
tonic is so victorian:lol:
i kept it simple but you should get the theme |
