VALENTINES DAY & CLOVE ACTUALLY IS IN THE AIR
It’s February and love is all around. The chilly nights however mean that those warming winter spices are still a welcome ingredient. Cloves have been associated with special occasions since the 15th century and at one stage were worth their weight in gold.
This wonderful spice, the buds plucked from a myrtle tree, are unmistakable and have long been used to enhance the flavour and aroma of oranges. In this recipe, cloves used as a garnish complement the bitter-sweet Valencian orange peel, together with the rich notes of blueberries and blackberries, which combine with other botanicals to make the uniquely tantalising Brockmans Gin.
For Valentine’s Night, Brockmans Clove Actually is the perfect cocktail: a warming, spicy interpretation of a cool, classic Brockmans G&T.
