Cocktail recipe - Greenall's Damson Gin

By Country Queries of The Field

Greenall's Damson Gin. This month's cocktail recipe makes the most of our hedgerows

Greenall's Damson Gin

850ml (1 1/2 pints) damsons

350g (12oz) sugar

1.2 litres (2 pints) Greenall's Gin

Few drops of almond essence

Prick the damsons or freezr then allow to thaw so that the skins pop. Place in a large Kilner jar or glass container. Add the sugar, gin and almond essence and shake well. Shake most days for about three weeks to ensure that the sugar dissolves. Then leave for a minimum of three months but ideally six. Strain and bottle. The strained fruit is delicious when served with ice cream.
