Barry Island Gin and Tonic
Who doesn't love a classic G&T? Simply grab your favourite glass, add ice and a slice of lime and mix Barry Island Gin and Tonic water to you preferred balance. Also works great with soda water.
Because Blood Orange and Lime Zest are the equally balanced lead botanicals in our Welsh Dry Gin why not try your Barry Island Gin and Tonic with a slice of orange to bring out the orange notes in the gin.
We love Llanllyr's Source Indian Tonic water with our Welsh Dry Gin.


Barry Island Negroni
The Blood Orange in our award winning Welsh Dry Gin lends itself to beautifully to this classic Italian cocktail.
Here's what you'll need to make a classic Negroni at home:
-
25ml Vermouth (we love Discarded Cascara Sweet Vermouth)
-
25 ml Campari
-
Ice
-
Orange slice to garnish
Pour all the ingredients in to a glass and give it a gentle stir to blend the spirits.
Add ice cubes in to a tumbler and pour your spirits mix over the top. Garnish with a slice of orange to finish.
There you have it, a simple and elegant Negroni. Enjoy!
Yuzu Tom Collins
We love sharp, bold, punchy citrus flavours. Our take on a traditional Tom Collins cocktail adds Yuzu (an East Asian citrus fruit) to really boost up those zesty lime notes.
Named after a hoax that was doing the rounds in New York in 1874, the Tom Collins is a long drink often served in a tall, thin glass (referred to as a Collins glass or high ball). It's really refreshing and super easy drinking. Our citrus-forward dry gin really complements the lime juice and yuzu seltzer in this classic cocktail - we're big fans. Of course, if you don't have any Yuzu seltzer this drink is just as delicious if you use soda water.
Here's what you'll need:
-
Cocktail shaker
-
25ml lime juice
-
25ml sugar syrup
-
125ml Yuzu seltzer (we like Something and Nothing's Yuzu Seltzer). Or feel free to use soda water instead.
-
Ice
-
Lime wedge to garnish
Add ice to your cocktail shaker and pour in the gin, lime juice and sugar syrup. Shake for 5 seconds to blend and cool the ingredients.
Strain the mixture in to a tall glass. Add ice cubes then add the yuzu seltzer. Garnish with a wedge of lime to finish.


Spiced Rum Cooler
This cocktail has a lovely balanced warming sweetness and is the perfect drink as the nights start drawing in.
Our delicious Spiced Rum Cooler is really easy to make, here's what you need:
-
50ml cloudy apple juice (we love Flawsome's Sweet and Sour Apple Juice)
-
25ml Cinnamon syrup
-
25ml Soda Water (we love Llanllyr's Source Club Soda)
-
Ice
-
Garnish with dehydrated apple slice or, we also love it with a slice of orange.
Pour all the ingredients in to a glass and give it a gentle stir to blend everything together.
Add a couple of ice cubes and garnish to finish.
