La Coloniale

How about a martini that is a little out of the ordinary? Well, this is it. Simple and quick to make and a wonderful spicy taste. Only two ingredients and a slice of cucumber are needed. As in art, less is more!



4.5 cl gin
3 cl ginger liqueur
Stir in a mixing glass with ice, and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of cucumber. 

La Coloniale is a cocktail that tickles your taste buds. The hot, spicy taste of Chinese baby ginger sweetened with Tahitian vanilla and honey from Provence is given and earthy gensing twist that along with the brazing gin makes sure that there is no cloying sweetness. The slice of cucumber provides a subtle and fresh note.

A good drink usually has an appealing look. The glass, the colour of its contents, the garnish, it all has to be pleasing to the eye to be truly successful. Sometimes the bottles with the ingredients add a certain extra touch to the whole feel of the drink, as in this case. Slender, elegant Ginger and stocky, strong Hendrick's are made for each other just like their contents.
