Vancouver Rise FC Moon Blossom Spritz Cocktail

Moon Blossom Spritz

A delicious sipper, this spring/summer spritz is light, crisp and incredibly refreshing. Our Night Blossom Gin was intended to be enjoyed in classic, simple cocktails that let the beautiful floral and berry notes of this Vancouver-made spirit blossom to its full potential. Two types of local cherry blossoms are used for a true taste of springtime on the West Coast.

Want an even lighter version? Don’t hesitate to omit the lemon juice and simple syrup and make a beautiful gin&soda – the Moonlight Edition Gin made exclusively for our Vancouver RISE FC partnership is scrumptious on its own with just a bit of soda and ice to open the botanical elements that make up this truly Canadian Gin.

Ingredients

* a 1:1 sugar-water syrup – heat 250ml of filtered water to boiling, reduce heat, and slowly stir in 250g of granulated sugar until completely dissolved. Keep stirring to prevent scorching. Allow to cool, transfer to sealable container or bottle and add 1 TBSP of vodka to aid with preservation; shake well. Refrigerate – this will only keep for 1-2 weeks! Experiment with different types of sugar, but cane or granulated sugars work best. 

METHOD

  • Combine gin, fresh lemon juice and simple syrup in a tall Collins glass and stir well (please don’t use processed lemon juice, it tastes terrible!)
  • Fill glass with ice, and top with Club Soda.
  • Garnish with a fresh, ripe strawberry half; and we like a straw for our Collins cocktails.

PRO TIP : As an alternative to stirring, combine the first three ingredients in a shaker tin with ice cubes and shake for 10 seconds, then strain over fresh ice cubes in your tall Collins glass. Top with Club Soda. This process helps blend the lemon oils and spirit for a more complex flavour and consistent “mouthfeel”.
