Unleash Your Power Ft. Erin
“We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training" - Powerpuff Girls (probably)
As an essential part of your training, please prepare and assemble the following:
2oz empress indigo gin
1oz grapefruit simple syrup
Grapefruit soda water
Mint (fresh)
Grapefruit slice
Shake gin & mint with ice in a martini mixer or use a muddler to lightly bruise mint leaves to extract the flavour. Then mix in the simple syrup and mix it in well before adding the soda water and grapefruit slice for garnish
Make your own grapefruit simple syrup. It is just 1:1 ratio of liquid (grapefruit juice/water) to white sugar and add the Zest from the grapefruit. Simmer it down until the consistency is a little thicker and it sticks to your spoon and slowly drips off. Then remove from heat and let cool.
To reinforce your training, please review the following:
Gin Hugo spritz:
1.5oz Empress cucumber lemon gin
.75oz elderflower liquor
Prosecco
Soda water
Cucumber slice
Mint leaves
Shake gin, elderflower liquor and mint in a martini mixer with ice, or lightly muddle mint. Put in 1-2 cucumber slices, fill glass with ice (if not previously done) top with 75% Prosecco and 25% soda water.
Enjoy!
