An amorous, three-fruit gin cocktail with a dash of bitters to round off the sweetness
y wife Tipsy and I never celebrate Valentine’s Day. We made a vow that every day should be a potential Valentine’s in its own way, so we just surprise each other from time to time with something nice that shows our love: little gifts, surprise date nights or just a favourite food treat – we like to keep the romance alive by being unpredictable, instead of waiting for the officially mandated Day of Love. That said, I do still get her something on 14 February, because, well, better safe than sorry. That’s how you stay married for 30 years. So, mix one of these for your loved one and make them feel they just got the most romantic card ever.
I’m Gin Love!
Serves 1
45ml gin
30ml passion fruit liqueur
15ml Aperol
1 dash creme de cassis (blackcurrant) liqueur
1 dash raspberry syrup
Pour everything into a shaker filled with ice, shake until cold, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass and raise it to the one you love.
