Spiced Orange & Coldbrew Gin Cocktail
This Spiced Orange and Coldbrew Gin Cocktail marries together the botanical flavours of Blackwoods Vintage Dry Gin with spiced cardamom, orange, and star anise cold brew coffee for the perfect summer afternoon treat
This recipe requires you to quickly whip up a batch of coldbrew and refrigerate overnight! Coconut water works well at counteracting the dehydrating effects of the alcohol but you can use water if you prefer
