Summertime in South Africa is the perfect occasion for a refreshing beverage. As South Africans, we spend many hours outdoors in the sun and we need to be refreshed and festive. The Apple and Mint L-Gin Cocktail will quench any thirst and tickle every single taste bud on your tongue.
This is a very simple cocktail that is also not too strong. It is incredibly refreshing, lush and delicious. Accompanying the L-Gin Lush hand-crafted gin is the freshness of mint and tangy sweetness of your own homemade lemon syrup. L-Gin Lush gin is infused with Granny Smith apples and enhanced with citrus and the garnish of a single apple slice. The lemon syrup takes 10 to 15 minutes to make and lasts in the fridge for a month. This means that you can enjoy this delicious cocktail for weeks to come.
Lush and delicious, the Apple and Mint L-Gin cocktail will enhance any festivities and quench any thirst. Perfect at a great South African braai or a day by the pool.
