Ingredients
- 60ml Tanqueray No. TEN Gin
- 30ml Fermented Pineapple Cordial*
- 2 dashes Bittered Sling Grapefruit & Hops Bitters
- 6 leaves mint plus sprig for garnish
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a shaker
- Add ice and shake, shake, shake!
- Double strain neat into a coupe glass
- Garnish with a grapefruit cheek with a threaded mint sprig
Notes
Fermented Pineapple Cordial* (makes 500ml)
- 100g pineapple chunks
- 300g sugar (any sugar – white, raw, other)
- 200ml water
- 10g citric acid powder (or 250ml lemon or lime juice)
Add the pineapple chunks and sugar to a non-reactive container, close the lid. Store at room temperature, mixing and “burping” the container to expel any gas – the mix will start to ferment after 24 hours. For a robust flavour, ferment for 48-72 hours. Add all to a bowl, add the water. Stir until the sugar and water is combined. Micro filter to remove the pineapple pieces and debris, stir in acid until combined. Store in a bottle or clean container in the cooler up to 7 days.
