Wild Cocktails - August

26/8/2016

Hog and Tonic

Aromatic summer hedgerow in a glass, using old prohibition methods for creating a bathtub gin like spirit based drink.

2 sprigs of rock samphire
sprig of wild fennel
6 alexander seeds
6 hogweed seeds
slice of lemon
vodka
ice

Wild Foraged Cocktail: Hogweed, Alexander, Samphire, Fennel, Borage Flowers, Vodka Cocktails

Take the ingredients and bash in a pestle and mortar until the seeds are crushed and the samphire is releasing juice.
Add the vodka, bash, and mix some more, leave to infuse for 10 minutes.
Strain over ice and add tonic water.
Garnish with Borage Flowers.

Wild Foraged Cocktail: Blackberries, Common Sorrel, Basil, Soda, Vodka Cocktails

Blackberry and Sorrel Crush

Fruity sweet and sharp drink, like slushy for grownups

a small handful of blackberries
6 large common sorrel leaves
sprig of basil
vodka
sugar
soda
ice

In a sturdy glass (not a thin wine glass) muddle/bash the fruit, sorrel and sugar.
Add vodka and crushed ice, muddle some more.
Add soda, stir and serve.

Ginger Fun-Guy

parasol mushroom infused bourbon
Fentimans ginger beer
orange slice
ice

Pour the whisky over ice, top up the glass with ginger beer and stir. (In my quest for the best ginger beer so far the botanically brewed Fentimans is easily the best)
Lightly char the outside of the orange slice with a match or lighter, to save your fingers from burning, pierce and hold the slice with a cocktail stick. Squeeze the slice over the drink and drop in.
