The Black Magic

The Black Magic

A dark, mysterious, and spicy serve that lives up to its name.

Garnish:
Star anise and a bat or orange twist

For the rim:
• Black sugar crystals or crushed black sprinkles
• Lime wedge

The Gin And Tonic

The Gin And Tonic

Ingredients

  • 1 part Urban Rhino London Dry Gin
  • 3 parts your choice of tonic
  • Garnish with lemon peel or thin slices

Instructions

  • If you want to get more from your G&T, start measuring the tonic. The ratio of gin to tonic should be between 1:1 to 1:3. For a new gin where you want to appreciate the subtleties of the taste we would suggest 1:2 (you can always put in more tonic afterwards).
  • Traditionally gin and tonic was served in a high ball glass with a lemon wheel but the contemporary way is to use a Spanish style Copa glass or large red wine glass. This has the affect of keeping the drink colder, which means the ice takes longer to melt. Using a strip of the peel of the lemon ads flavour as the oils just below the peel are sweeter than the juice itself.
  • So fill a Copa with a good measure of ice, add a strip of lemon peel, pour over the gin, the tonic and stir gently to mix.

Ruby Rhino

Ruby Rhino

Ingredients

  • 50 ml Urban Rhino
  • 20 ml Lime Juice
  • 20 ml Grapefruit Juice
  • 20 ml Sugar Syrup
  • 2 Muddled Raspberries (Gently mash at the bottom of the glass! That’s muddling!)

Instructions

  • Take a cocktail shaker or mixing glass and add the following ingredients: 50 ml Urban Rhino, 20 ml Lime Juice, 20 ml Grapefruit Juice, 20 ml Sugar Syrup.
  • Take two raspberries and place them in the bottom of a glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently mash the raspberries. This process is called muddling, and it helps release the flavors and juices from the raspberries.
  • Once the raspberries are muddled, add ice to the glass. You can fill the glass with ice cubes or use crushed ice, depending on your preference.
  • Now, take the cocktail shaker or mixing glass with the other ingredients and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This will thoroughly mix the ingredients and chill the cocktail.
  • Strain the contents of the shaker or mixing glass into the glass with the muddled raspberries and ice. Use a cocktail strainer or a fine-mesh sieve to remove any ice shards or fruit pulp.
  • Optionally, you can garnish the cocktail with a fresh raspberry or a slice of lime or grapefruit. This will add a nice visual touch to your drink.
  • Serve and enjoy your Ruby Rhino cocktail with the vibrant flavours of lime, grapefruit, and muddled raspberries.
