About this deal

Neil Whitley’s Rhubarb and Ginger Gin is another fantastic combination. This gin is served with a lemon wedge after being poured into an ice-filled glass topped with premium tonic water. This drink is elevated by the rhubarb’s sweetness balanced by ginger spice, and the tonic and lemon add a refreshing freshness. Rhubarb gin is a refreshing, flavorful drink that can be enjoyed by both gin and tonic fans as well as those who enjoy unique spirits. Edinburgh Gin Flavours Other garnishes- We like to use a vegetable peeler to peel strips of rhubarb stalk and use them for garnish. You can also use a lemon wedge, mint sprig or even chamomile flowers.

Just remember that strong flavours like citrus peel, chilli and fresh or dried herbs tend to be quite powerful in small amounts! You can also pair it with plain soda water, for those who want to remove some of the sweetness and add a nice sparkling mixer. This is a ridiculously easy recipe to make, and one that is very rewarding (as long as you like rhubarb, ginger and gin, that it!) Strain the rhubarb liquid through a fine mesh strainer into another clean bowl, separating the rhubarb from the liquid. Cut the rhubarb to 2-3cm lengths and cut the ginger into cubes (you don’t have to peel it is you don’t want to).Beware of leaving it too long and over-infusing the mixture, though - in the same way that a cup of tea with the teabag left in too long can taste horrible, so too can flavoured gin! Rhubarb and ginger are a match made in heaven. The tart, fruity flavour of the rhubarb is accentuated by the fiery warmth of the ginger – and adding them both to gin is another whole level of deliciousness.

The added sugar adds a touch of sweetness, making this drink ideal for those who like a drink which is tasty, fruity and not bitter. This drink is perfect for cold winter evenings or long summer days – you can drink it all year round and it will still taste delicious! Home made infusions are a delicious way of mixing it up when it comes to drinks. This rhubarb and ginger gin is the perfect example: simple to make, delicious, and so versatile. It’s a great change from, but as easy to make as the better-known sloe gin. Today, we are going to be taking a look at Asda’s ever-growing range of traditional gins and innovative flavoured gins, as more and more seem to be getting distilled regularly, leaving us excited to see what happens next. The Boom in Own-Label Gins So taste the gin at intervals, and once you’re happy with the flavour, filter out all the botanicals using a sieve. If there’s some sediment left in the liquid, use some muslin or a coffee filter to strain it again. That’s not completely untrue - there is a type of gin called “compound gin” that you can make in your kitchen with a bottle of vodka and whatever botanicals you feel like adding. But for an even easier “cheat’s” take on flavoured gin, try one of our ‘ginfusions’ below.Toffee Vodka– this popular flavoured vodka uses just two ingredients and is so easy to make at home. You can also drink it over ice, which will dilute the strength and the flavours – and the coldness will actually bring out the flavours of the gin. Herbs and spices like vanilla, thyme, lavender, mint, cardamom or chilli may only need a few hours steeping in the gin, whereas fruits, strongly flavoured vegetables and berries will probably be best left for a week or two, maybe even up to a month. There is no cooking required; just a little bit of prep, and finishing it off is very low maintenance. The hardest part will be waiting for the drink to be ready! That’s not to say that the Hortus liqueur doesn’t mix well: oh, but it does. I’ve had it with the classic Bundaberg Ginger Beer (which I can’t praise enough) and the Fever Tree Aromatic Tonic Water, both of which worked marvelously with the liqueur for different reasons. This Fever Tree Tonic Water in particular matched the liqueur as it has a crisp freshness and a slight bitterness from the Angostura bark which offset the sweetness of the liqueur to leave you with a more well rounded gin and tonic experience. For an added bonus, the tonic water and the liqueur are both pink, and that’s just fun.
