Dreaming of a summer vacay? We can’t quite promise you that, but our Ginjito comes pretty close. This refreshing creation will certainly take you on vacation to somewhere sunny, all you need to do is grab a straw, close your eyes, and sip! We’ve included the recipe below so you can try it for yourself, but first, here’s a bit about our latest creation for our spirit range... 

Inspired by the traditional sweet shop favourite, our gin is perfect for any gin enthusiast. It’s fruity notes of blueberries and sweet vanilla aftertaste create a fresh, invigorating experience for your pallet. Our gin can be enjoyed on the rocks, or with your favourite mixer, but why not take it that one step further and create your own Ginjito! This cocktail has been carefully curated by our Team here at The Chuckling Cheese Company, and is perfect for those long summer days. 

You will need: 

Recipe:

1. Take a balloon glass, chilled if possible. Alternatively, add a generous amount of ice to the glass to chill whilst you prepare all of your ingredients. 

2. Discard the ice from the glass. 

3. Add 6 blueberries, 2 lime wedges, and 12.5ml of sugar syrup to your glass.  (Tasty Tip: Squeeze the lime wedges for an extra zing!) 

4. Take a muddler, and smush the ingredients together to release the flavours (or until it turns blue!)

5. Add 50ml Chuckling Cheese Blueberry Bon Bon Gin.

6. Fill the glass half way with some crushed ice. 

7. Use a mixing spoon to swirl your concoction together.  

8. Pick out 8 mint leaves, lay them in your palms, and slap your hands together. This will release the minty goodness!

9. Add the mint leaves to your drink, grab your mixing spoon, and swirl it all together.

10. Add some extra ice and stir one final time. 

11. Top with soda or lemonade for a little fizz.

12. To garnish, rub the rim of the glass with a mint stalk and top with a few blueberries and a sprig of mint.

13. Grab a straw and enjoy!
