Bartender Top Tips
Berry Spice is actually a very loose cocktail twist on the classic Tom Collins. It basically swaps out the lemon for lime and the sugar for flavoured cordial. The gin and soda stay the same. To make your preferred mix, practice by adding different cordials or sugar syrups to lemon, lime or grapefruit juice, gin, soda and ice to make your favourite combination. Try using elderflower cordial for a touch of florality. Vanilla or coffee syrup adds a touch of complexity and intrigue. Imagine honey for a sweetener! Go on, experiment…
