Temple of the Moon G & T
Cocktail by Chelsea Nelson at Ritual & Craft
Directions
What you need:
-a large wine glass with a long stem (no rocks glasses allowed).
- a lot of GOOD ice (enough to chill the circumference of your goblet)
- your favorite garnish (go spicy, fruity, citrusy, or floral! The choices are endless)
- a lovely tonic (think FeverTree, Schweppes, Q tonic or local Bar Daddy)
- a long, twisted bar spoon
Extra: Try adding a dash or two of your favorite bitters!
How to make:
● Fill you wine glass with ice
● Add your garnish(s)
● Add 2 oz of Temple of the Moon Gin
Add a few dashes of your choice of bitters (make sure they marry well with your garnish!)
● STIR! This allows the gin to absorb the flavor of your garnish
● Pour 4 oz tonic into your glass: use the twisted spoon as a conduit––put the spoon into your glass, and pour down the length of the twisted part of the spoon. This opens up the bubbles in the tonic and unleashes the flavor
● Stir the tonic into the gin and ice in several rotations getting the cocktail as cold as possible
● Add garnish on top for a little more flair
Note: It’s all about the garnish platter!
