Treat yourself to a cheeky adult dessert with Gin & Tonic popsicles

Freeze your G&T into popsicle form because why not

The Gin & Tonic is to my mind one of the finest drinks in existence, and even though it has just two basic ingredients it’s still something that can be varied, tweaked, and perfected to your tastes. Whilst that usually involves trying out new gins, sometimes it can involve different brands of tonic water, or varying garnishes, or even changing its format from a slim collins glass to a big round Spanish-style copa glass.

But one change that’s bound to make the drink a ton of fun to enjoy is to freeze it into popsicle form. This suggestion from Nolet’s Gin involves simply taking all the ingredients of your favorite G&T, including the garnish, and freezing it in a popsicle mold. So what if it’s winter now? G&T popsicles are for all year round as far as I’m concerned.

G&T Popsicles

Ingredients:

6 oz. Nolet’s Silver Gin
1/2 cup Fresh Lime Juice
3 cups Tonic Water
Cucumber Slices, Lime Wheels and/or Raspberries for Garnish
Popsicle Mold or Small Glasses
Popsicle Sticks

Method:

Combine all liquid ingredients and pour into (approximately 6) popsicle molds or small glasses on a tray or cookie sheet that will fit in the freezer.

Add garnishes, and insert popsicle sticks. If using small glasses, simply use a strip of tape across the top of the glass, cut a slit in the center (big enough for a stick) and gently stand the stick up in the tape.

Freeze for approximately 8 hours.

Serve alone or as a garnish in a Nolet’s Silver Gin & Tonic.

We absolutely love these fall gin cocktails

Don't put away your gin when autumn rolls around

Martinez cocktail

We get it. When autumn rolls around, you tend to start thinking about aged spirits like whiskey, rum, tequila, and mezcal. Un-aged spirits like vodka and gin tend to find themselves on the proverbial back burner until spring. Well, we aren’t about that. We celebrate un-aged spirits all year long, especially in the chilly fall months.

And while we could write an article all about mixing with vodka to add some refreshing flavors to your fall drink rotation, today it’s gin’s turn for some fall gin cocktails. This juniper-driven, herbal, and botanical spirit is a hero during the summer but is largely forgotten when the weather begins to turn cooler and the leaves start tumbling down from the trees. This is a shame and one we are all about remedying.

Combine two beloved cocktails for a morning treat with the Dirty Bloody Mary

Add a splash of olive brine to your next brunch cocktail

If there's one cocktail that rules supreme for an indulgent brunch, it's the Bloody Mary. This endlessly variable recipe calls for tomato juice and vodka, and can then be spiced up with whatever combination of seasoning, hot sauce, citrus juice, vinegar, and other additions that your heart desires. But if you're looking for inspiration for your next brunch then high-end olive juice brand Ancient Olive Trees wants you to consider making it dirty.

The Dirty Martini is beloved for adding a splash of olive brine to vodka (or gin) and dry vermouth, helping to round out the flavors with a salty note which enhances the savory flavors already present in the other ingredients. And the principle works equally well for adding more salt and olive flavors to the Bloody Mary, which go well with the vodka and tomato juice.

Sweet treat whiskey cocktails for Halloween

Using flavors like marshmallow, caramel, and orange to add to your whiskey

Whiskey pouring into a glass

Classic whiskey cocktails tend to lean to the side of being spirituous and robust, like the iconic Old Fashioned or the ever popular Manhattan. However, you can also have some sweeter fun with whiskey, as these Halloween recipes from Chicken Cock Whiskey show. They bring together flavors like orange and caramel, or toasted marshmallow and chocolate, to add some sweetness to your late fall drinking.

Both of these recipes also include custom syrup additions, which is a great way to add complex flavors into a cocktail without having to throw hundreds of ingredients into a shaker. You can also prepare the syrups ahead of time, so they're ready for making a round of drinks at a party.
