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®
Garnish with a Lemon Twist
Combine the cranberry juice, NOLET’S Silver Gin, and orange liqueur in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
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.
Nolet-tini, the Perfect Martini
Mashed up and modernized from the classic Martinez & Martini the Nolet-tini is a perfectly balanced spirit-forward cocktail, an excellent choice for any occasion.
1.5 oz NOLET'S Silver Gin
1 oz Dry Vermouth
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.
1.5 oz NOLET'S Silver Gin
0.5 oz Marachino Liqueur
2 Passion Fruits (carefully halved, saving 1/2 for garnish)
0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
0.5 oz Vanilla Simple Syrup
2-3 oz Chilled Sparkling Wine or Champagne (served on the side)
Add all ingredients but 1/2 passion fruit and the sparkling wine into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into a coupe glass and float the remaining 1/2 passion fruit for garnish, serve the sparkling wine on the side in a small glass.
Pumpkin Mule

1 Large Granny Smith Apple
1 oz Simple Syrup
