You’ll also need a cocktail shaker for this recipe. The result is a cocktail that is balanced between the sweet syrup and the sour lime juice, with a good head of egg white froth on the top. If the balance isn’t quite right then add more syrup/lime juice to get it to your taste. You should be able to taste the gin without it being too strong a flavour, but still be able to enjoy Wild Island Botanic gin to the full. I could see this being shaken up from the Juliettes Interiors gin trolley for sure! Let me know what you think when you try it out! To create the Lemon Balm Syrup Either buy dried apricot for garnish – or dehydrate your own! To make the apple green tea syrup… The winning ginspiration challenge cocktail was Juliette’s Garden by Tiki Chris and is now officially named the J&T (after our founder Juliette Thomas). It was served from Juniper, our fabulous gin trolley, at all our prestige events throughout the year; Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace, Caviar with Ainsley at our showroom, the official launch of Juliettes Exteriors property management, and our New Collections launch later in the year.Saturday 3 August is International Scottish Gin Day so get yourself a cocktail shaker and give them all a go

Juliette’s Ginspiration Cocktail Challenge
When we launched Juniper – our fabulous, modern gin trolley – on World Gin Day, we asked some of our favourite mixologists for some ginspiration. To come up with a fresh, new and unique gin cocktail that we could serve at all our summer events. And so, they slaved away over bottles of gin, herbs, fruits, syrups, mixers and garnishes to come up with their perfect take on a gin cocktail. Together with our partner gins, Wild Island and Pickering’s 1947, you’ll find thyme and lemon balm, grapefruit and pomegranate, even a splash of champagne.
I hope you feel the wow factor here?!

The perfect excuse to combine Champagne and Gin. Following the launch of “Juniper”, the gorgeous new Bespoke Gin Trolley at Juliette’s Interiors, I’ve created what I believe is the perfect way to celebrate.

Wild Island gin is infused in a copper still with six native hand-foraged botanicals growing wild on the island of Colonsay: lemon balm, wild water mint, meadowsweet, sea buckthorn, heather flowers, and bog myrtle. And ten further botanicals are used as the base. While there’s quite a lot going on with it, in terms of a floral, citrus character, it can also stand up to complementary flavours, which is why I think it works in my cocktail with its flavours of elderflower, cucumber, mint and apple.

Juliette’s Garden G&T would go well on its own as an aperitif as well as alongside spicier dishes such as jerk chicken or Indian food.

The core ingredient (after gin) reminds me of when the kids and I took a trip to Italy a few years ago and enjoyed grapefruit sorbet by the coast. The tang of the pink grapefruit instantly takes me back to Ischia and there’s just something inexplicably luxurious about the addition of pomegranate, don’t you think?
