This is one of the BEST cocktails I've ever had, so much so I literally bought the ingredients the next day to make it at home 👀🥂🌹 If you know me, you know I am not the biggest drinker, but we were having a date night at @salvatores_sd (which is amazing, btw) & they had a new Valentine's Day drink called "Left on Red" which gives French 75 but something was different - it was sweet & fruity but light so I asked the bartender to tell me their secrets & they said they use a gin called Love Gin from @Eden Mill Distillery and I was like....can I buy this from you?! I was denied, but they said we can find it at BevMo & Jonathan and I went to BevMo the next day JUST for this gin because it really was that good. When I find something I like, it's going on the bar cart (plus it’s literally the prettiest bottle I've ever seen). I figured it would be fun to show you guys how to make this cocktail since it's perfect for Valentine's Day with its bright, pink-rosey color. We almost always stay in on Valentine's Day, so this is the perfect lil treat to start off our evening. I will say, I've tried many gin brands before and Eden Mill knocked it out of the park. Their distillery is actually located in St. Andrews (Yes, where Golf was invented) and what started as a small local biz has made it all the way to San Diego & I understand, the Love Gin is flawless. I looked up the botanicals & they use raspberries and strawberries from Fife Fruits – a local family-owned Farm near the distillery - plus goji berries, hibiscus, rose petals and elderberries. Definitely grab one next time you're at @bevmo_co because it was well worth it. ❤️Left On Red🌹 1 oz Love Gin from @edenmill .5 oz freshly squeezed lemon .5 oz raspberry syrup (or simple syrup if you so wish!) 3 ounces of champagne or sparkling wine Add your Love Gin, lemon juice & raspberry syrup to a shaker with ice - shake well! (you can also muddle a few raspberries for extra fruitiness). Pour into a champagne glass and fill to the top with chilled champagne or sparkling wine. Garnish with raspberries - cheers! 🥂 Enjoy & happy Valentine's Day, friends 🤍
