Ingredients

  • 1½ oz The Botanist Islay Dry Gin
  • 1 oz tangerine juice
  • ½ oz lime juice
  • ¾ oz lime clementine cordial
  • Garnish: dried citrus wheel

Lime Clementine Cordial

  • 8 limes peeled and juiced (approx. 4 oz lime juice)
  • 4 clementines peeled and juiced (approx. 4 oz clementine juice)
  • 2- inch piece of fresh ginger peeled and chopped
  • 6 cracked cardamom pods
  • 1-2 Thai chilies diced
  • 1½ cups sugar

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled.
  2. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
  3. Garnish with a dried citrus wheel (such as blood orange or tangerine).

Lime Clementine Cordial

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan (including all citrus peels) over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring to make sure the ingredients blend together.
  2. Reduce heat to medium low and let simmer for about 20 minutes until syrup is slightly thickened.
  3. Cool to room temperature and strain off solids.
  4. Carefully strain the whole ingredients out of the syrup. Once cool enough to handle, store the lime clementine cordial in a swing top bottle or mason jar and keep in the fridge. Syrup will keep for at least 3 weeks.
