Apple Cider Fizz
Gin Fizzes are frothy and luxurious in texture and make a real statement when served. We love them because they're simple to customize according to dietary preferences. This Apple Cider Fizz is an excellent Fall cocktail that looks and tastes more complex than it seems.
2 oz. NOLET'S Silver Gin
1 oz. Apple Cider
0.5 oz. Lemon Juice
Dash of Cinnamon
0.25 Heavy Cream (or sub with unsweetened Almond Milk)
1 Egg White (or 1.5 oz. Aquafaba)
1.5 oz. Club Soda (to top)
Demerara Sugar and Cinnamon for the Rim
Before mixing, prepare the glass by combining 1/4 cup of Demerara sugar and 2 tsp. ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Moisten the rim of the glass with a wedge of lemon, and dip into sugar mixture, turning to distribute evenly.
Combine all ingredients but the club soda to a mixing tin without ice. Shake vigorously for about a minute (seriously), add ice, and continue to shake until the outside of the tin frosts up and the liquid inside is cold and frothy. Strain into the sugar-rimmed glass, leaving a little room for soda. Gently pour soda in and spoon remaining froth on top, then garnish with a cinnamon stick!
Strawberry Sour
A seasonal gin sour is always a good idea. The fruit and floral botanicals in NOLET'S Silver are perfectly complimented with the addition of fresh strawberries and elderflower liqueur, and lemon; a perfectly balanced sweet and tart cocktail.

0.5 oz. Elderflower Liqueur
0.75 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice

Fresh Strawberry, Mint and/or Lemon for Garnish
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and muddle the strawberries until all liquid is released. Add ice, and shake until well chilled. Strain and pour into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a strawberry, some mint, or lemon wheel.
