Foodie Swellness: Boodles Gin

So I don’t normally care to break out my blender and shaker when it comes to enjoying a cocktail at home. But I received a very sophisticated looking bottle of Boodles Gin and one of the cocktail recipes sounded so fruity and tropical that I gave it a shot.

Gin & Gomme

2 oz Boodles Gin

3/4 oz pineapple juice

1/2 oz mango puree (blended chopped mango)

3/4 oz fresh lemon juice

Shake all ingredients thoroughly. Strain into a large rocks glass with ice. Top with a splash of soda and garnish with a sprig of fresh cilantro.

The cocktail was good but tbh I’ll probably only make it again if I have friends over. Too much fuss for making one cocktail for me. I’ll likely enjoy the Boodles simply in a G&T, which is, in fact, how they recommend drinking it (more simply, that is, but of course Boodle Gin works well if you want to get your mixology on!).

By the way, you can also win a private butler for a week from Boodles Gin. It’s open to Ontario, Alberta and B.C. residents, and you can enter here!
