Pre chill a Coupe glass by popping it in your freezer or filling it with ice cubes.
Muddle the basil leves in the bottom of your shaker (gently, the aim is to bruise gently). Add the rest of the ingredients and ice to a shaker and shake, shake, shake!

Perfect for spring celebrations!
New Braccan Cocktail!
Perfect Serve (for you) B&T (Braccan and Tonic)
Vicki's favourite serve is your favourite glass, plenty of ice, your choice of Braccan Dry Gin measure, Indian tonic , a lime wheel and sprig of rosemary. We don't recommend garnishing with a stinging nettle!
We find that the Indian tonic enhances the herbaceous and woody notes from the nettles. If you wish to put more emphasis on the citrus botanicals we suggest using Mediterranean tonic and garnishing with pink grapefruit and rosemary.
For a sweeter serve, try Elderflower tonic and an orange wheel as garnish.
We want you to enjoy our gin how you like it!

Braccan Spritz
Add some sparkle to your cocktail repertoire!

Rub the skin of the lime around the edge of the glass for extra class! Fill your glass with ice. Add the gin and elderflower liqueur and stir gently. Add the sparkling wine and lime wedges. Stir again then top up with soda water. Finish by dropping some spanked* mint in the top.
*spank your mint by merely slapping it on your palm to release the oils.
Braccan-groni
Braccan makes an excellent negroni, a truely classic cocktail. Embrace the bitter.
- 35ml Braccan Dry Gin
- 35ml of Campari (replace with Aperol if you'd like it less bitter or really push the boat out and infuse a sprig of rosemary in your Campari for 24 hours before making)
- 35ml Sweet Red Vermouth - we recommend using Vermut Lustau as it's jammy berry fruitiness compliments Braccan's earthy herbal notes beautifully.
Put all of the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice and stir to combine and dilute. Strain into a rocks glass over a single large ice cube. If you have n't infused your Campari then add a sprig of rosemary and twist a piece of orange peel over the top to express the oils before dropping into your drink.
