What you'll need
60ml London Dry
Strikingly smooth to taste and beautiful to behold in its iconic Bristol-blue glass bottle, our original, multi-award-winning London Dry was born in 2010, perfected from an old family gin recipe.
100g sugar
100ml of freshly boiled water
The zest of two limes
1tsp citric acid (can be found in the baking aisle of most supermarkets)
Lime peel to garnish
How to mix it
Step 1
Add the sugar and freshly boiled water to a large glass and mix to dissolve the sugar
Step 2
Whilst still hot, add the zest of two whole limes and mix again. Let it sit and taste every few minutes, as soon as it starts to taste ‘pithy’ strain and allow to cool
Step 3
Lastly, add 1 teaspoon of citric acid and mix. (The cordial will last for 3 – 4 weeks in the fridge so you can make a larger batch if you’ve got thirsty friends coming round!)
Step 4
Add the gin and 30ml lime cordial to a large glass with plenty of cold ice and stir until cold
Step 5
Then simply strain into your favourite glass and garnish with lime peel
