How to make an English Garden Gin Cocktail

The English Garden is for slow afternoons — the kind where the air smells like apples, herbs and something just about to blossom. It’s a soft-spoken cocktail, but it knows how to leave an impression. Think of it as a memory in a glass — of garden paths, open windows, and the sweet quiet between conversations.

With our Orchard Gin as its base, this cocktail blends elderflower syrup, lemon juice, and cloudy apple juice, finished with a delicate curl of cucumber and a sprig of mint.

It’s where heritage meets ease — and where every sip hints at something familiar, yet just out of reach.

Ingredients:

• 30ml Orchard Gin
• 15ml Elderflower Syrup
• 15ml Lemon Juice
• 150ml Cloudy Apple Juice
• Cucumber curl & mint, to garnish.
• Ice cubes.

How to make it:

• Fill a glass of your choosing with ice.
• Add Orchard gin, elderflower syrup, and lemon juice.
• Add sprig of mint and squish it with a cocktail spoon.
• Stir gently to mix.
• Top up with cloudy apple juice.
• Garnish with a cucumber slice.
• Take it outside. Let the conversation meander.

Serve when:

• You're barefoot on the lawn.
• There's no rush to be anywhere.
• You want to remember what slow feels like.
