“The ‘Toyama’ serve is a great gin cocktail perfect for summer – mix Jinzu, dry vermouth and plum wine together with ice until chilled, then pour into a cocktail glass and garnish with a discarded lemon zest.
“The delicate, complex taste of Jinzu and the smooth finish from the sake also makes it the ideal addition to classic cocktails such as the Martini.”
– Dee Davies

“Rock Rose Gin with toasted rosemary and Fever Tree Tonic.
“With the launch of Walter Gregor Tonic, it also makes a great Scottish gin and tonic.”

“A French 75 is a classic favourite of mine. Alessandro Palazzi offers a fabulous recipe:
• 25ml No.3 gin
• 25ml lemon juice
• 10ml Monin gomme syrup
• Berrys’ United Kingdom Cuvee
• Grand Cru, Mailly
• 1 Grignotine cherry or lemon
“Mix the gin, lemon juice and syrup with a cocktail shaker. Pour the contents into a Champagne flute. Top up with Champagne. Add a grignotine cherry or a peel of lemon.”
