The Skinny Cocktail Column: May

The Clapham Connection

The first of The Skinny’s Cocktail Columns comes from mixologist Toby Darroch at Tigerlily, who created this refreshing, zesty blend especially for SW4, naming it in honour of the London borough where this classic gin is distilled. He let us in on his secret recipe:

50ml SW4 London Dry Gin
37.5ml grapefruit juice
10ml lime juice
10ml Pamplemousse syrup
2 bar spoons of lime marmalade
A dash of egg white
5ml Grenadine
2 drops of grapefuit bitters
Orange peel to garnish

Shaken, and poured over block ice

The block ice makes the drink stay colder for longer without diluting it, don’t you know. To sample a Clapham Connection, head along to Tigerlily, 125 George Street, Edinburgh.
