Enjoy the exquisite THORALM Gin Tonic with cinnamon and orange

We are pleased to present you a special cocktail recipe that was specially created with our first-class THORALM Gin. Let yourself be enchanted by the combination of spicy cinnamon and fresh orange and experience the taste of THORALM Gin in a new, exciting variation.

Recipe for Gin Tonic with Cinnamon and Orange

Ingredients for 2 drinks:

• 12 cl THORALM Gin
• 24 cl tonic water
• 1 organic orange
• 2 cinnamon sticks

Accesories:

• ice cubes
• jigger (measuring cup)
• 2 long drink glasses
• lighter

Here's how it's done:

1. Preparing the orange and cinnamon:
   • Use a vegetable peeler to peel the zest from the orange. These fine strips provide an intense aroma and an elegant appearance.
   • Briefly flame the cinnamon sticks on all sides with a lighter to release the essential oils. This step intensifies the aroma and gives the cocktail a special touch.
2. Prepare the glasses:
   • Fill the long drink glasses to the brim with ice cubes. Cold glasses keep the drink refreshing for longer and allow the aromas to come through better.
3. Mix gin and tonic:
   • Add 6 cl of THORALM Gin to each glass.
   • Fill the glasses with 12 cl of tonic water each. The combination of THORALM Gin and tonic water creates a harmonious base for the spicy and fruity aromas.
4. Flavoring:
   • Squeeze 1-2 orange zests between two fingers above each glass to spray the essential oils into the glass. These oils give the cocktail an intense freshness.
   • Wipe the zest around the rim of the glass and then add it to the gin and tonic. This enhances the aroma and makes for an appealing appearance.
5. Final:
   • Place the prepared cinnamon sticks into the glasses.
   • Stir the drink gently with the handle of a spoon to ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed.
