We love a cocktail here at Birch Gin... made with our gin of course, but there's nothing quite like mixing it up a bit and seeing what flavours you can bring out. So, we've gathered together a few of our favourites for you to try - ENJOY!

The Sumatra Martini

This Sumatra Martini is something special, giving you a sublime combination of smoke, leather and bitter chocolate.  To experience it for yourself, you need:

• 50 ml Birch Sumatra coffee and cardamom Gin
• 15 ml Cocchi Vermouth di Torino
• A dash of Fee Bros Old Fashioned Bitters

… you can get the other ingredients from Master of Malt, who also stock all our lovely gins!  We've linked them for you to make life easier. 

STEP 1:
Add the liquid ingredients to your favourite cocktail shaker

STEP 2:       
Shake with ice and then pour into a cocktail glass, any shape you like

STEP 3:     
Add a single Sumatran coffee bean, it’s that perfect finishing touch and makes all the difference, but, if you don’t have one to hand, skip this step!

STEP 4:     
Sit back in front of the fire and enjoy this perfect cocktail

STEP 5:       
Make another!

Although Sumatra is a fantastic base for an awesome Martini, it makes the perfect sipping gin and can also be enjoyed with ginger ale for a delightful long drink.

• 25ml Birch Gin
• 25ml Sweet Vermouth
