There is a lot to celebrate at Great Plains this week.
We have plans for some strategic expansion and refurbishments, leases, and life. So, making time for a cocktail on World Cocktail Day (who dreams these things up?) is appropriate. In fact, it’s appropriate most days!
There are real versions and mocktail versions, so you can even have them during the day; breakfast is not out of the question. We all have great days and some less great, but being with loved ones, laughing and loving, turning your face to the breeze, meditating at sunrise or making time for a sunset is what makes all days better.
Duba Plains Camp Gimlet
Ingredients
- 2 shots Ra di Tau (Great Plains’ Gin) or if you can’t get it, Aviation Gin
- 1 shot freshly squeezed Lime Juice
- 1 shot simple Sugar Syrup
Method
- Fill a cocktail shaker generously with ice, then pour in the Gin.
- Add the freshly squeezed lime juice and the simple sugar syrup, allowing the ingredients to come together in the chilled shaker before shaking firmly for about fifteen seconds, long enough for the mixture to become beautifully cold and lightly aerated.
- Strain the cocktail into a well-chilled martini glass, allowing the pale green liquid to settle cleanly and elegantly in the glass.
- Finish with a thin wheel of fresh lime resting gently on the rim as a final bright note.
Tasting Notes
The brightness of freshly squeezed lime meets the smooth botanical character of Ra di Tau Gin, and a touch of sweetness from simple syrup brings the two together.
