Brockmans Gin – in the pink for Valentine’s Day

When love is in the air, a cocktail should be in your hand. Darkly seductive Brockmans Gin, the gin like no other, is famed for its blueberry and blackberry notes. For Valentine’s Day, pour some of this delicious spirit from its black bottle and create some rose-coloured drinks that ring with romance in both taste and colour.

We bring you two cocktails that are perfect for your Valentine: Brockmans version of a ‘new classic’ – The Cosmopolitan’; and a contemporary original concocted by Brockmans’ mixologists – the Brockmans Frosé – pink, sparkling and bubbling over with passion

These gin cocktails may be pink – but they are decidedly not pink gin. Think glamour and sophistication. Let the romance beGIN!

Both recipes are taken from The Black Book of Gin Cocktails available exclusively from www.brockmansgin.com/shop/
