Gwilym celebrates Dry Curious July by making a non-alcoholic, Express-no-tini:
30ml Lyre's Coffee Originale.
30ml Lyre's Dark Cane Spirit.
22.5ml of Harpoon Coffee Concentrate.
Dry shake (no ice), followed by a quick wet shake (with ice). Double strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a coffee beans. All the tastey, none of the wastey.
The boys from Thomson Whisky make a Negroni and Boulevardier:
1 part Victor's Gin (Negroni) or 1 part Thomson's Whisky (Boulevardier).
1 part red vermouth.
1 part Campari.
Typically you should use 20-30mls per part, depending on how big your glass is. Fill a large mixing glass with ice, add the ingredients in the order above and then fill the rest of the glass with ice and begin stirring. Use a metal straw to taste intermittently while stirring until it's just right (you'll know).
Strain into a tumbler filled with ice, and garnish with orange peel (make sure to give it a twist and wipe it around the brim of the glass). Alternatively. the Boulevardier can be served in a chilled martini glass sans ice (same garnish).
