4 Must Mix Brockmans Gin Winter Cocktails

Brockmans Gin has created four new gin cocktails for the Winter season.

Each distinctly creative recipe draws out the blueberry and blackberry notes and the bittersweet Valencian orange peel and other exquisite botanicals that are present in the gin.

These cocktail recipes all have warmth of color as well as depth of flavor, making these truly celebratory concoctions. They make full use of warm winter spices, berries and seasonal ingredients including oranges and clementines.

Preparation: Add all ingredients to a slow cooker and stir to combine. Heat on high for one hour. Reduce the temperature to low to keep it warm for up to 5 hours.

To serve, spoon into insulated glassware. Garnish with a few seasonal berries, a stick of cinnamon and a dehydrated or fresh orange or clementine slice. If you like warm, winter spices you can add 5-6 star anise and cloves.
