Lychee Martini
This tropical Martini is an exotic cocktail with a refreshing finish. It's exquisite when made with fresh lychees, but also wonderful when using the canned fruit out-of-season.
2 oz NOLET'S Silver Gin
4 Fresh Peeled Lychees (or 4 Canned Lychees)
1 oz Simple Syrup (or 1 oz Syrup from Canned Lychees)
0.5 oz Elderflower Liqueur
0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
Add all ingredients (but 1 lychee) into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into a Martini glass and garnish with a pitted lychee.
Gibson
NOLET'S Gibson replaces the onion with pickled peach or peach shrub to retain the classic savory profile, while complimenting the luscious fruit and floral botanicals in NOLET'S Silver. The resulting cocktail is distinctly NOLET'S... unique and sophisticated.
2.5 oz NOLET'S Silver Gin
0.5 oz White Vermouth
0.5 oz Pickled Peach Juice or Peach Shrub*
Dash of Saline
Pickled or Fresh Peach slice for Garnish
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail glass with ice while chilling Martini glass(es) you plan to use. Stir until well chilled. Strain into a glass and garnish with a slice of pickled peach.
Peach Shrub Recipe (makes 2 cups of shrub)
3-4 Peaches, pitted and sliced
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Champagne or Apple Cider Vinegar
Optional: Cinnamon Stick, Ginger, Star Anise
Combine the peaches and sugar in a non-reactive jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid and shake until the peaches are coated. Refrigerate for 24-36 hours until the peaches have macerated (sugar has dissolved). Add vinegar and additional herbs, if wanted and shake to combine. Keep in the refrigerator for 7 days, tasting periodically to be sure that the herbs don't overpower the peaches. Once desired flavor is reached, strain the liquid into a clean jar, and discard solids. The liquid will keep in the refrigerator for about 6 months.
Strawberry Negroni Spritz
THE Summer Spritz is this Strawberry Negroni. Tart, sweet, and bitter, the cocktail captures all the summertime vibes, and it's easy to build.
1 oz NOLET'S Silver Gin
1 oz Sweet Vermouth
1 oz Campari
3 Fresh Strawberries
1 tsp sugar
Club Soda or Seltzer
Fresh Pepper
Muddle 2 and a half strawberries with sugar in a cocktail shaker (reserving the prettiest 1/2 strawberry for garnish). Add the NOLET'S Gin, vermouth and Campari to the shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled (when the shaker begins to sweat). Strain into an ice-filled Spritz glass, top with soda water and garnish with the reserved strawberry sprinkled with a grind of fresh black pepper.
Lemon Drop
The perfect balance of tart-sweet citrus and fruity floral gin makes this Lemon Drop a jaw-dropping show-stopping cocktail that's more than the sum of its parts.
1.5 oz NOLET’S Silver Gin
0.5 oz Cointreau®
1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
1 oz Simple Syrup
Garnish with a Lemon Twist or Half Sugar Rim and Stick of Rock Candy
Coat half of the rim of a coupe/martini glass with sugar and set aside/chill. Add the NOLET’S Silver Gin, orange liqueur, lemon juice and simple syrup in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into the rimmed/chilled glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Cosmopolitan
We updated the 80's classic Cosmo with a flavor-bursting modern botanical gin variant. It's not your mother's Cosmo!
1.5 oz NOLET’S Silver Gin
2 oz Cranberry Juice
1 oz Cointreau®

Negroni Sbagliato Punch
This large format Negroni Sbagliato punch *with Prosecco* is simple to combine and impressive to serve. Make it ahead (adding the effervescence before serving) and have fun with the garnish! Bring on the spirit of the season!
1 bottle NOLET'S Silver Gin
1 bottle Campari®
1 bottle Sweet Vermouth
1 bottle Sparkling Wine or Prosecco
1 bottle Sparkling Water (optional if using an ice block)
Garnish with any combination of Orange Slices, Star Anise, Pomegranate Arils, Rosemary Sprigs, Cranberries, Candied Ginger, Cinnamon Sticks, or Cloves
Combine all ingredients in a large punch bowl with ice. An ice block made in advance works well with this recipe and doesn't dilute it as fast as cubes. To make an ice block, we like to use a bundt pan and to make it pretty, we include orange slices, rosemary, cranberries, pomegranate arils, and star anise in any combination. If using ice cubes, we suggest not adding sparkling water and serving part of the recipe first and replenishing it with fresh ice to control the dilution. Serve in glasses with additional garnish.
Filthy® Lemonade
Sweet and tart, Filthy black cherry syrup adds an easy twist to a classic NOLET'S Lemonade. Simple to make, this cocktail is a good take on a pantry cocktail.
1.5 oz NOLET’S Silver Gin
0.5 oz Filthy® Black Cherry Syrup
4 oz Simply Lemonade
In a highball glass with ice, add all ingredients and stir to combine. Can be served with a cherry or lemon garnish.

1 oz Sweet Vermouth
0.25 oz Maraschino Liqueur
A couple of dashes of Bitters (experiment with a fruit bitter like Rhubarb and a basic bitter combined)
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail mixing glass and stir with ice until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled Martini or Coupe glass, and garnish with lemon peel.
Pornstar Martini
The Pornstar Martini; a tongue-in-cheek name for the “bold, sexy, playful” cocktail that's always served with a side of sparkling wine or Champagne. Created by Douglas Ankrah at the Lab Bar in London, it's said that he tried something similar on a trip to South Africa. We adjusted the recipe to complement our fruit and floral botanicals, and once you make it, it'll be on repeat until the passion (fruit) dries up.

0.5 oz Marachino Liqueur
2 Passion Fruits (carefully halved, saving 1/2 for garnish)
