Mat Thomson from Thomson Whisky New Zealand brings in some Victor Gin!

With summer camping on the way, it's important you know how to improvise when making a cocktail in a camping situation with some non-perishable food in a tin. 

This little number involves a bit of bish bosh bash, and tweaking to taste.

In a glass full of ice add:

A few good springs of mint 

45 ml x Pear Juice (from a tin of pears)

Feel free to mush some of the pears through a sieve to get added pear juice.

30 ml x Victor Gin

15 ml x Lemon Juice.

Top with some soda water if you please.

Garnish with some more mint and slices of pear. Yum!
