Cocktail Recipe from Warwickshire Gin Company: Grapefruit Sour

Grapefruit Sour

Distilled using a small batch method in Leamington Spa and using a traditional copper pot, the inspiration behind the award-winning drinks collection of gin, rum and vodka, comes from a desire to capture a moment in history, developing flavours to truly represent the county’s own unique story and bringing the hand-crafted flavours to life.

This cocktail is made using WGC’s award-winning 40% ABV Pelota Dry Gin which has Mediterranean citrus tones.
