Try Lyndey Milan’s Whiskey Ginger, Lime & Gin Fizz, Lemon-Lime & Bitters Punch.
WHISKEY GINGER
This is inspired by my time shooting Lyndey Milan’s Taste of Ireland. I discovered a love of Irish whiskey!
Serves 1
INGREDIENTS
30ml Irish whiskey
5ml lime juice cordial
ginger beer to taste
Few drops of bitters
Lime zest twist
METHOD
1 Combine whiskey and lime juice cordial in a glass. Top with ginger beer. Add a few drops of bitters and a lime twist.
KAFFIR LIME GIN FIZZ
This recipe has a double dose of lime flavouring. The lime juice gives it the tang and a kaffir lime leaf is added for garnish.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
6 kaffir lime leaves, crushed
Ice cubes
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup (60ml) gin
1/4 cup (60ml) tonic or soda water (or more to taste)
1 small kaffir lime leaf, extra, for garnish
METHOD
1 Make a syrup by combining water, sugar and kaffir lime in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Strain and cool.
2 Place ice cubes in a glass, then pour over 2 tablespoons kaffir lime syrup, lime juice and gin. Swizzle then top up with tonic water and garnish with kaffir lime leaves.
