Crazy Lassi Gin

The fusion of British Indian food is well known and widely loved, but why isn’t there a drinking equivalent? This was the question that the Singh’s pondered, and they decided to answer it themselves. Step up - Crazy Gin. Bringing together the refreshment of Indian yoghurt drink Lassi with classics from your spice drawer like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, Crazy Gin created the world’s first clear Lassi Gin. Balance it out with floral juniper and sweet pomegranate, and a fantastically unique and interesting gin was born. We’ve been wondering how Crazy Gin could breathe new life into cocktails and have listed the best ideas below. Have a try and let us know how you might build a cocktail around Lassi gin!


Helena’s Choice: Mad Negroni


I love a Negroni and because it’s so simple, it’s perfect to experiment with. The Mad Negroni is ever so slightly sweeter, fuller, and spicier and the result is totally moreish. Simply fill a mixing glass with ice, pour all the ingredients on top and stir well. Strain into rocks glass over fresh ice.

Aidy’s Choice: Crazy Gin Pina Colada


If you like piña coladas, and makin’ them more insane...

That would work better with music to be fair.

The extra flavour of the Lassi gin brings an interesting twist to this classic. The cream of the Crazy Gin works wonderfully with the coconut, and the subtle spice with the turmeric intertwines beautifully to add a whole new layer to proceedings. Fill a mixing glass with one scoop of crushed ice. No messing around with this, pour all the ingredients into a mixing glass and stir until everything is chilled. Strain over fresh ice cubes into a hurricane glass and garnish with pineapple leaves, pineapple slice, umbrella, whatever you want!

Colin’s Choice: Crazy Gin Old Fashioned


I love trying spin offs of my beloved Old Fashioned, and this quirky adaptation really works for a lighter and sweeter drink. The coconut and yoghurt flavours add an intriguing twist, filling the cocktail out. Stir all the ingredients together with ice, add a wedge of mango for complimentary garnish and enjoy on the rocks.

One Drink Three Ways: The Three Drinkers Limited Edition Red Silkie Irish Whiskey

One Drink, Three Ways is the signature feature by The Three Drinkers. Join The Three Drinkers’ Helena, Aidy and Colin as they take one bottle and create a trio of phenomenal serves that you can enjoy anytime, anywhere. From rums and whiskies to gins and wine styles, the three help you get the most out of your glass. It’s time to get liquid on lips.


One Drink 3 Ways: The Three Drinkers Limited Edition Red Silkie Irish Whiskey

If you haven’t heard by now then let us be the first to inform you that we’ve made our own Irish whiskey! A collaboration with the amazing Sliabh Liag Distillers in County Donegal in Ireland, it’s a celebration of the historic, Irish whiskey style as well as our love for fine wine!

The Three Drinkers Limited Edition, Red Silkie Irish Whiskey, to give it its full name, is finished for six months in red wine barrels hailing from the iconic Clos l’Eglise in Pomerol, Bordeaux. The result is a rich and velvety whiskey with notes of dried fruit, baking spice and a whiff of smoke that is beautifully rounded out by ripe, red fruit coming from the wine casks. £1 from every bottle also goes to mental health charity My Black Dog, so if you would like to buy a bottle and want to try some well-suited serves, check out our three favourites below.


Helena’s Choice: The Muse


The sweet, honeyed flavour of the vermouth emphasises the candied orange and caramel tones in Red Silkie, and the herbal notes play off the absinthe rinse nicely too. With those gorgeous dried red fruits, gentle smoke and warm spice from the bitters entwining, this is a layered and lovable concoction that I really think brings out the best in our whiskey! Method: Chill a coupe glass with a big chunk of ice. Once cooled, rinse the glass with Absinthe and discard it. Add the remaining ingredients into a mixing glass with ice and stir until they are cool and combined before straining into the chilled coupe glass.

Aidy’s Choice: Maple Whiskey Sour


I love a whiskey sour, and this particular serve is such a pick-me up. Every sip is silky smooth and the ripe fruits and spices of the Red Silkie come through deliciously with the zippy lemon and sweet syrup. Method: Add all ingredients into a shaker. Dry shake them (without ice) first and then add ice and wet shake. Finally, strain them into your cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon wheel or nutmeg.

Colin’s Choice: Irish Mule


I just wanted a little ginger beer to bring out the subtle fruity spices in Red Silkie and allow it to be the unapologetic star of the show. Subtle sweetness that’s never overbearing and bubbles fizzing on the tongue make this a triumphantly delicious and invigorating sipper indeed. Method: Fill your glass to the top with ice. Pour the double measure of whiskey into it and then fill it to the top with a premium ginger beer. Stir very gently up and down to combine without killing all the bubbles.

One Drink, Three Ways: Mirabeau Gin

One Drink, Three Ways is the signature feature by The Three Drinkers. Join The Three Drinkers’ Helena, Aidy and Colin as they take one bottle and create a trio of phenomenal serves which you can enjoy anytime, anywhere. From rums and whiskies to gins and wine styles, the three help you get the most out of your glass. It’s time to get liquid on lips.


One Drink, Three Ways: Mirabeau Gin

Mirabeau is always one of our top choices for quality and value when it comes to rosé, so when they announced their journey into juniper a couple of years ago, we had high expectations! We were not disappointed. 

In this gin, there are the familiar base botanicals of juniper, citrus, orris root, angelica root and coriander, but inspired by the surroundings of the Saint Tropez estate, it’s the Riviera twist of herbs like bay, thyme and rosemary alongside the neutral grape spirit and base distillate of Mirabeau Classic Rosé that really grabs your attention. The result is a fantastically fruity and well-rounded gin with fresh citrus character that’s bursting with floral notes, rose petals and lavender. Those herbs add an extra kick at the end too for an extremely satisfying and complete drink with all the glamour of the Côte d’Azur.

There really is plenty here to enjoy neat, but with so many appealing notes, it only makes sense to get some stunning cocktails going eventually...


Helena’s Choice: Mirabeau Pink Gimlet


Mirabeau gin is perfect for a characterful, gin sour style cocktail. The lime and grapefruit play up to the citrus in the gin and are pitched perfectly against the sweet syrup. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and balanced while showing off the beautiful, fruity gin. Simply pour all the ingredients into an ice filled cocktail shaker and shake together, then strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with half a wheel of lime and that’s it. You’re transported to the French Riviera!

One Drink, Three Ways: Mirabeau Gin Pink Gimlet Cocktail

Mirabeau Pink Gimlet

Recipe

50ml Mirabeau Dry Rosé Gin

25ml Simple Syrup

50ml Lime Juice (1 lime)

75ml Pink Grapefruit Juice (1/2 a Grapefruit)

Crushed Ice


Aidy’s Choice: Mirabeau Rosé Negroni


Negronis are, by their nature, one of the most adaptable cocktails and I adore this rosé led version. All three work together to elevate the fresh floral and citrus notes, and the underlining herbs add a tonne of depth from the background to round it off. Immensely refreshing and a lip-smacker alright. Simply add the Mirabeau Dry Rosé Gin, Lillet Rosé and Luxardo Bitter Bianco into a tumbler filled with plenty of ice and stir gently until the ice starts to melt. Take the zest of a grapefruit and wipe it around the rim of the glass. Pinch the zest to express a little oil, add it as a garnish and enjoy!

Recipe

25ml Mirabeau Dry Rosé Gin

Colin’s Choice: Mirabeau Rosé G&T


There are cans of Mirabeau Dry Rosé Gin & Tonic in Waitrose, but this cocktail version is a notch above if I can be so bold. The floral Mediterranean tonic with its herbal notes complements similar notes in the gin and provides a really light and refreshing base. The Angostura bitters emphasise the citrus fruitiness and embolden the cocktail to become more than just a refresher. 

Place some ice in a large wine glass and gently wipe the rim of the glass with the zest of grapefruit. Pour in the Mirabeau Riviera Dry Rosé Gin, the tonic, and add the drops of angostura. Stir gently with the sprig of rosemary which also makes the perfect garnish once you’re finished. Perfection.

One Drink, Three Ways: Glen Grant 15-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch

One Drink, Three Ways is the signature feature by The Three Drinkers. Join The Three Drinkers’ Helena, Aidy and Colin as they take one bottle and create a trio of phenomenal serves which you can enjoy anytime, anywhere. From rums and whiskies to gins and wine styles, the three help you get the most out of your glass. It’s time to get liquid on lips.


One Drink, 3 Three Ways: Glen Grant 15-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch

We’ve been working our way through different ages of Glen Grant Scotch whisky lately and loving every sip. Their 15-year-old spirit is matured in a balanced combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks before eventually being bottled at 50% abv. Oomph! Behind that inviting gold colouring is a superbly well-rounded bold and fruity flavour profile, with rich vanilla oak char laced throughout. If you like Speyside whisky, you’ll love this.

You might have seen our Glen Grant 10-year-old cocktails, but these are a lot simpler with fewer ingredients. Put simply, all the hard work has already been done for you at the distillery and in this case, less is more. Enjoy!


Helena’s Choice: Classic Highball


With more and more drinkers looking to take their first steps on the whisky road, highballs are a great, accessible way to start the whisky journey before hitting the stuff neat. With such a flavoursome, well-rounded Scotch, a classic highball is the perfect way to enjoy a delicious 15-year single malt at its peak! Simply pour the whisky into a highball glass with ice and top it up with soda. Sublime.

Aidy’s Choice: Bobby Burns


Here’s a classic Scotch cocktail if ever I saw one. Made in the same vein as a Rob Roy but superior (if I do say so myself), this is a deliciously boozy cocktail. The three liquids balance out really well to create a rich and subtly spicy concoction that is dangerously sippable. You can mix up the ratios to your taste, but all you’ve got to do is stir everything with ice, strain into a glass and serve with a nice orange twist!

A big lump of ice and a generous pour of beautiful whisky – sometimes you can’t beat simplicity. This Scotch certainly isn’t one to wilt in the limelight, so it performs well on the rocks where you can experience all of its layers. Just sip and enjoy as the ice melts.

One Drink, Three Ways: Bruichladdich - The Classic Laddie

One Drink, Three Ways is the signature feature by The Three Drinkers. Join The Three Drinkers’ Helena, Aidy and Colin as they take one bottle and create a trio of phenomenal serves which you can enjoy anytime, anywhere. From rums and whiskies to gins and wine styles, the three help you get the most out of your glass. It’s time to get liquid on lips.


One Drink, Three Ways: Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie

Bruichladdich (pronounced like ‘brookladdie’), is a distillery doing things differently. Based on Islay, a southern island of the Inner Hebrides, they are the first company of their kind in Europe to become a ‘BCorp’. What does that mean? Well, without getting into the nitty gritty, Bruichladdich meet an incredibly high standard of social and environmental performance. They’re a progressive, forward-thinking company with a focus on the world around them as much as their liquid.

They’re also unusual in how they produce their products themselves. Unlike the neighbouring distilleries on the island, the entire range is made without peat. Instead, local barley is pushed to the fore and each batch is unique. The recipe is, ‘not set in stone’ and they’re ‘never striving for absolute consistency’. 

The Classic Laddie is a floral and elegant Single Malt Scotch, trickle distilled and matured in American oak by the banks of Loch Indaal before bottling at a lip-smacking 50%. The intriguing paleness is somewhat of a mirage when you taste the flavoursome and harmonious blend of sweet oak and barley, with ripe green fruits and sugary fruit in the background. It’s super smooth and well-rounded with very little smoke or spice. 

There’s a tonne of interesting information about The Classic Laddie and Bruichladdich on their website, but for now we want to get to our cocktails! We’ve prepared three fantastic serves below that make great use of this delicious dram.


Helena’s Choice: Laddie & Ginger


Highballs are one of the most popular ways to ease whisky drinkers in, and this Laddie & Ginger is no different. The warming ginger ale emphasises the lingering sweetness of the Scotch. For a whisky cocktail this is incredibly refreshing, with the vibrancy of the fruit coming through and subtle sea-spray to finish. Pour the whisky over plenty of ice, top up with ginger ale and stir gently to retain those bubbles!

One Drink, Three Ways: Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Laddie and Ginger

Laddie & Ginger

Recipe

60ml Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Scotch

Aidy’s Choice: Classic Laddie Sour


Anyone that knows me knows I love sours, and what an opportunity this is to make just that. The Scotch is smooth already, but the egg white gives it a foamy and luxurious feel. Sour lemon balances out the sweet malt and maple syrup for a tantalising tang, and the complexity of the whisky isn’t overshadowed at all. What a gem! Dry shake everything first, then repeat with ice and strain over a rocks glass. Dried apple slice to garnish.

Top Tip: Vegans out there, the egg white can be substituted for aquafaba!

20ml Lemon Juice

10ml Apple Juice

Colin’s Choice: Young Laddie


I’ve opted for a variation on the Old Fashioned which I adore. Invented by Joaquin Simo of Death & Co in Manhattan, the Young Laddie replaces traditional bourbon with the Bruichladdich for a smoke-free version. If you don’t have grapefruit bitters at hand, then Angostura steps in nicely but the two garnish twists tie the drink together really well at the end, so make sure to include those. Simply combine everything (except the twists) in an Old Fashioned glass, add a large chunk of ice and stir until chilled. Squeeze the twists before dropping them in and there you have it.

Glen Grant 10 Year Old

Brothers John and James Grant began as illicit smugglers but having built up a network of connections in Scotland, they founded The Glen Grant distillery in 1840 and even helped build local railways to help the Speyside region of Scotland become the whisky hotbed it is today. 

Beautifully amber on the eye, the 10-year-old Glen Grant Scotch is the definitive Speyside whisky. It has wonderfully unique notes of green orchard, toffee, and vanilla and it’s equally quaffable for a whisky beginner or a seasoned drinker, which is part of the reason it’s picked up so many awards and heaps of praise. 

Truth be told, Glen Grant is super satisfying to sip on its own, but when a whisky is this gorgeous it would be a crime not to experiment with it!


Helena’s Choice: Orchard High Ball


I’ve gone for a little orchard twist on the classic Whisky Highball. The green orchard notes of the Glen Grant work wonders so I’m emphasising them with a little pear liqueur and zesty freshness from orange bitters and wedge. Simply pour all the ingredients into a highball glass, stir well to blend everything, then add ice, and finish it off with an orange wedge for garnish.

One Drink, Three Ways: Glen Grant 10 Orchard Highball Cocktail

Aidy’s Choice: Brigadoon


Originally from The Player, now Basement State in Soho, this is a modern classic that delights whisky drinkers and seasoned dram fans alike. The sour lemon and sweet apricot in this combination mirror each other so well, and at the heart of it is the strong Speyside Scotch that remains the worthy star of the show. There are a few bold flavours jostling here so make sure to shake well and serve over ice.

Colin’s Choice: Grant’s Buck


This short and sharp tipple is a delight. The green fruit notes of the whisky are brought to the fore, and there’s a little extra sweetness that goes nicely too. I’m also a fan of the finish with the gentle lingering spice from the Scotch and ginger ale. Fill a rocks glass with ice and add the ingredients. Give it a good stir and garnish with a lemon twist.

One Drink, Three Ways: Mount Gay Black Barrel

One Drink, Three Ways is the signature feature by The Three Drinkers. Join The Three Drinkers’ Helena, Aidy and Colin as they take one bottle and create a trio of phenomenal serves that you can enjoy anytime, anywhere. From rums and whiskies to gins and wine styles, the three help you get the most out of your glass. It’s time to get liquid on lips.


Mount Gay Black Barrel

Mount Gay is the world’s oldest commercial rum distillery, with the oldest surviving deed dating from 1703! Ironically, it was a man called John Sober who originally started the small distillery at the top of Mount Gilboa, Barbados. After a while, Sir John Gay Alleyne, a fourth generation Barbadian was introduced, and the distillery grew from there, hence the company being named after him.

Their Black Barrel blend is distilled in traditional copper pot and column stills, matured for up to 7 years in American whiskey casks, and further aged for 6 months in heavily charred Bourbon casks. Unsurprisingly, that toasted oak comes through, as does gingerbread and the rich vanilla and pineapple you might expect from a golden Bajan rum. 


Helena’s Choice: Cinnamon Twist


My Cinnamon Twist is a kind of milky, spiced rum punch, variations of which have been around since the 1600s. The cinnamon syrup sits perfectly beside the deep vanilla and gingery notes and the milky rum behind it is so deliciously creamy, but still allows the toasty elements of the rum to shine. Shake with ice, then strain over a singular hefty ice cube in a chilled rock glass!

Mount Gay Rum Cinnamon Twist Cocktail

Cinnamon Twist

Recipe

60ml/2oz Mount Gay Black Barrel

44ml/1.5oz Whole Milk

22ml/0.75oz Cinnamon Syrup*


Aidy’s Choice: Good Old Pine


I’ve gone for pure Caribbean sunshine with Good Old Pine. The pineapple in the Black Barrel is mirrored by the tropical pineapple syrup, and the Angostura bitters keep that sweetness in check while also pairing well with the gentler spices in the rum. This is island refreshment at its best. To make it, add all the ingredients to a glass and stir over a big ice cube. Garnish with lemon peel and/or a pineapple frond if you’re feeling fancy.

Colin’s Choice: Bajan Cafe


The detectable vanilla and gingerbread in the Black Barrel pairs nicely with the coffee and almond flavours for a gently warming experience in this Bajan Café. Combined with the toasted notes, it gives a bakery profile to the cocktail that I absolutely love. Add everything, add ice and shake. Strain over ice and garnish with mint. Voilà – the Bajan Café.

* To make your own pineapple syrup, you can just blend simple syrup with pineapple chunks. Keep the skin on for an earthier flavour, and just make sure to strain well before using. Try grilling it for another level of flavour!

For cinnamon syrup, take one part water (try 1 cup) to one part cane sugar and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Add 4 cinnamon sticks and allow to infuse for at least 1.5 hours - or overnight if you want more of a kick!
