Cocktail of the week: Cafe Biltmore’s gin blanc – recipe
Fruity white wine, gin and fresh fruit juice combine to make a refreshing sip to mark the change in the seasons
The fresh, fruity notes of the sauvignon blanc complement the botanicals in the gin beautifully in this last of the summer wine cocktail.
Gin blanc
Serves 1
20ml London dry gin – we use No. 3
20ml sauvignon blanc
50ml grapefruit juice, ideally freshly squeezed
20ml lime juice
15ml basic sugar syrup, infused with a little thyme, ideally
1 sprig fresh thyme, to garnish
Put all the liquids in a shaker with a handful of ice, shake, then double strain into a wine glass filled with ice. Garnish with the thyme and serve.
