Ginger Kombucha Mule

Happy Friday

You've made it to the end of the week so why not celebrate with us at House Curious and make one of our latest cocktail discoveries. With the change in weather we wanted to create something that was refreshing and warming that was fairly healthy. I know some of you will be doing sober October, which I thought I would try but I only lasted 24 hours. If you are looking for an alternative to gin then why not try Seedlip, to make a mocktail. It’s so good and I lived on it when I was pregnant.

This weeks cocktail is brought to you by Silent Pool Gin and it’s so simple and delicious. Have a great weekend and do share any cocktails you make with me over on instagram. You can also head over to IGTV for the live recipe.

Blackberry Gin Fizz

Happy Friday!

You've made it to the end of the week... so why not celebrate with us at House Curious and make one of our favourite tipples. This month we're serving Blackberry Gin Fizz! It's so refreshing and your guest will be suitably impressed. Blackberries are in season, so if you're game, go out and forage for your own blackberries.

Ingredients

3 Fresh blackberries

50ml Gin - we love Silent Pool Gin 

Lime juice

1 Teaspoon of sugar

 Club soda

Ice

Blackberries and thyme to garnish

Instructions

This recipe is based on making one cocktail. The more blackberries you add the darker the colour of the base. Three blackberries will give you a beautiful purple colour. If you use more berries it will be darker and more red in colour.

Place 3 blackberries in a glass with sugar. Muddle together until the sugar has dissolved.

Add the juice of 1 or 2 limes. Stir to combine.

Add ice cubes followed by 50ml of gin.

Slowly pour in the the club soda.

Garnish the cocktail with fresh blackberries, edible flowers and a sprig of thyme. Stir and enjoy!
