Ollie’s English Garden

For me the key to making a great tasting English Garden is good quality apple juice. Taking a long walk in the countryside, kicking fallen leaves around and finding somewhere to settle down for a picnic with a home-made pork pie and an English Garden cocktail just seems right. Try pre-mixing the gin, juice and elderflower at home, storing it in a flask and when ready to drink, just add the soda to bring it all back to life. Whilst usually a summer drink, it also makes a great early autumn drink, the apple juice making it particularly seasonal. Best drunk enjoying the last of the September sun.
