Infused with fynbos from the mountainous terrain of the Cape floral kingdom, Inverroche Verdant Gin is floral and soft with a translucent golden-green hue. Delicate aromas reminiscent of elderflower and chamomile, lead to summer blooms, a touch of spice, subtle juniper, waxy lemon rind and alluring liquorice on the palate.

• Add 38ml of fresh watermelon juice (recipe below)
• Add 25ml of fresh lemon juice
• Shake well and pour into a stemmed cocktail glass and garnish with a thyme wreath

To prepare the watermelon juice, slice a small to medium watermelon in half. Using a big spoon, scoop chunks of sweet watermelon into a blender. Discard the rind. Blend the watermelon until it is totally pulverised — this shouldn’t take more than a minute. For extra flavour, squeeze the juice of one small lime into the blender and blend for a few seconds longer. If your watermelon is notably pulpy or seeded, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher. If not, you can pour it directly into your cocktail shaker or glasses filled with ice. Watermelon juice will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days. The juice will separate over time; stir it with a spoon to recombine.
