African Wedding

This amazing libation was created from my love for the espresso martini cocktail and the will to devise a very different variation of it. 

1.5 oz. Tempt Gin
1.25 oz. Amarula
1 Ristretto shot
0.25 oz. Kahlúa
1 bar spoon of simple syrup
2 drops of saline solution

Africa, land of the marula fruit, the base of the great Amarula Cream liqueur produced in South Africa. Amarula is creamy, powerful, tasty, fruity and so particular! It just isn’t the easiest liqueur to pair with another to create a great recipe … 

I wanted to create a cocktail in the spirit of an espresso martini that enhances this liqueur! 

The perfect marriage is with the very particular and local gin, Tempt Gin, that has a grapefruit note delivering a long, satisfying taste that makes it the only gin that works for this recipe! 

Tentazione Italiana 

The grapefruit note of Tempt Gin matches perfectly with this Italian-flavor cocktail.  

1.5 oz. Tempt Gin
0.5 oz. Campari
0.25 oz. Apérol
0.75 oz. lime juice
0.5 oz. simple syrup
1 egg white

A truly delicious and really sexy cocktail made with Tempt Gin as a base and Italian spirits! The smooth bitterness of this cocktail renders it a perfect starter! 

Here’s how to make it:
Dry shake egg white and light sour mix.
Then combine Tempt Gin, Campari and a touch of Aperol.
Dry shake again, then wet shake and double strain into a martini glass.
Garnish with a homemade tuile.

Temptation Spritz 

The desire to create a cocktail halfway between a spritz and a gin tonic.
The result is a perfect combo of Tempt Gin, passion fruit and tonic. 

1.75 oz. Tempt Gin
0.75 oz. Chinola passion fruit
1 oz. grapefruit juice
Top with tonic water (about 3 oz.)

Combine all ingredients on fresh ice. Garnish with fresh fruit (lemon or grapefruit slices) and rosemary. The rosemary will just enhance the whole experience. Sit back and savor this simple-but-oh so delicious cocktail.

Temptation Fizz 

Creating an over-the-top foam fizz drink that actually not just looks great but also tastes amazing! 

1 oz. Tempt Gin
1/2 oz. Chinola passion fruit
1 oz. fresh grapefruit juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
1 egg white
Add tonic water

To make this drink, dry shake the limejuice, simple syrup and egg white with a strainer ring. Then dry shake again with all ingredients. Add the ice. Wet shake. Strain into a highball glass. Let it rest for a minute and add the tonic water. This way the foam will rise, and your cocktail will look spectacular!
