The summer is finally here. Warm summer evenings and gatherings with friends and family present a great reason to mix up a delicious and distinctly refreshing perfect serve cocktail made with Puerto de Indias, the original Strawberry Gin from Seville, Spain. “Puerto de Indias lovers in our homeland of Spain and around the world have enjoyed beautiful and easy to mix cocktails made with our flagship Strawberry Gin at countless venues throughout the summer,” noted Jose Sedano, International Development Director for Puerto de Indias. “We are excited to introduce these beloved cocktails to bartenders and consumers in the US so they can enjoy them too.”
First up, Perfect Serve Puerto de Indias Strawberry: – Fresh strawberries are the ideal complement to our flagship Gin
Ingredients:
1 part Puerto de Indias Strawberry Gin
4 parts Premium Tonic, chilled
Sliced Fresh Strawberries
Finish with a slice of fresh Lime
Method:
This cocktail is best served in a wide-mouthed glass to allow the flavors of the ingredients and the aromas to fully develop. Add ice to the glass and swirl to chill quickly. Discard the ice and fill the glass with plenty of fresh ice. Slice the fresh strawberries and add them to the glass. Pour in the Puerto de Indias Strawberry Gin and add the chilled tonic slowly to keep the bubbles intact. Garnish with a slice of lime and allow the drink to rest for a moment while the ingredients begin to release their flavors. Enjoy!
Next up, Puerto de Indias Strawberry Mule — The tangy Ginger adds a contrast of flavor that perfectly complements our gin’s fresh strawberry flavor.
Ingredients:
1 part Puerto de Indias Strawberry Gin
3 parts Premium Ginger Beer, chilled
1 part Soda, chilled
Fresh juice of ½ Lime
Mint leaves and lime slice
Method:
Juice the half fresh lime. Fill the glass with ice, add the lime juice and the Puerto de Indias Strawberry Gin and stir to blend the flavors. Top up with the chilled Ginger Beer and the Soda for a smooth finish. Garnish with a sprig of mint leaves and a slice of lime.
Sedano added, “Puerto de Indias Strawberry Gin is the gin that inspired a whole new category. It is the only gin made with distilled fresh strawberries, which sets it apart from other gins that add flavor after distillation. The result is a fresh and delicious, authentic fruit forward taste that breaks the preconceived barriers of gin and is perfect for any summertime occasion. We want professional and at home bartenders alike to know that they can create amazing and visually stunning cocktails with simplicity and speed using just a few basic ingredients.”
Puerto de Indias Strawberry Gin is the #4 selling gin in Spain[1] and #9 on the world stage[2]. In February, Puerto de Indias Strawberry Gin launched in New York, Florida and Illinois. It is available in a 750ml bottle and retails for a suggested price of $26.99.
