Inject some happiness into your drinks this Halloween with this immersive experience of a cocktail that could not have been easier to make at home.
Ingredients -
~ 45ml Quokka gin
~ 30ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
~ 15ml grenadine or raspberry syrup
~ 90ml soda (or to taste)
Method -
Fill your syringe with the grenadine or red fruit sugar syrup of your choice. Fill a chilled highball glass with ice and add the gin, lemon juice and soda. Stir briefly. Pop the syringe into the glass like a garnish and serve, inviting guests to inject the ‘blood’-red grenadine into the drink!
Pro tip -
For the best flavour results, once the initial impact of the syringe has happened, we would encourage drinkers to gently mix the ingredients to combine.
