Lemongrass Collins

I absolutely love sipping on a classic Tom Collins cocktail when I’m in the mood for something refreshing with some gin so when I was asked to come up with a delicious cocktail while in the Australian heat this was an easy choice. I used the Monin Lemongrass Syrup I carry with me to give it a great fragrant lemon kick as well as the fresh lemon juice. In Australia, they have a gin that is blue and changes to purple when it comes in contact with citrus so when I floated it on top it really made the cocktail pop. The whole drink came together so beautifully and of course, was really delicious.

Recipe:

• 1.5 ounces London dry gin
• ¾ ounce Ink Gin
• ¾ ounce lemongrass syrup
• 1 ounce lemon juice

Method:

1. Crush ice so it is ready for your cocktail
2. Combine gin, Monin Lemongrass Syrup, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker
3. Shake to chill and combine ingredients
4. Fill Collins glass with crushed ice
5. Strain contents over crushed ice
6. Top with Ink Gin
7. Garnish & Enjoy!
