The Florodora

A long & refreshing cocktails with warming ginger spice notes.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 50 ml 6 O'clock Gin
  • 20 ml Raspberry Liqueur (or syrup)
  • 20 ml Lime Juice
  • 1 dash Ginger Ale

Instructions

  1. Build the drink in a highball glass over plenty of ice. Add the gin, raspberry and lime first and stir, then top with ginger ale. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh raspberries.

Recipe Notes

Dates From: The first decade of the 20th Century.
Key Flavours: Refreshing summer fruits and warming ginger spice.
Background: Another much overlooked classic. This beautiful combination of flavours of gin botanicals, fruity raspberries, refreshing lime and warming ginger ale was a hit in the early years of the 20th Century. It is named after a hugely popular stage show that was a smash hit in both the West End and in Broadway, and started the trend for cocktails to be named in honour of famous stage shows and films, or the stars who featured in them.

    6 O’clock French 75

    Simplicity is something that many classic cocktails have in common, and the combination of our strikingly smooth 6 O’clock dry gin, a beautiful Champagne, some freshly squeezed lemon juice and a hint of sugar is the definition of simplicity. The subtle complexity of the ingredients complement each other without being overpowered.

    Classic Cocktails : The White Lady

    The origin of this classic ‘sour’ drink is much disputed. It can be considered a variant of the Sidecar (which is one of the most classic brandy cocktails), but the famous Harry Cradock also lays claim to the drink in his wonderful ‘Savoy Cocktail Book’ of 1930. Whatever story you believe, don’t be afraid of the egg white – it’s an essential ingredient that really elevates the drink to its classic status.
