By fat-washing the gin with coconut ahead of time, you can modify your NOLET'S Silver with an island-tropical twist and enjoy it in a lush Martini, a refreshing G + T, or any other delectable paradise-inspired cocktail.

1 oz. Coconut Washed* NOLET’S Silver Gin
1 oz. Campari
1 oz. Sweet Vermouth
Toasted Coconut for the rim
Lime Wheel Garnish

Rub lime on the rim of the glass and roll in toasted coconut. Build the cocktail over ice in the glass, adding equal parts of each ingredient, then garnish with a lime wheel.

750ml NOLET'S Silver
3 tsp. Coconut Oil

In a clean container add 3 teaspoons of coconut oil to NOLET'S Silver and let sit at room temperature overnight. Put the container in the freezer for a few hours the next day to set the oil and strain it out of the gin through cheesecloth.

Classic Gin Fizz

The luxurious Gin Fizz is a delicious sweet and sour cocktail that's a classic in the cocktail canon. We like it as written, and also should note that it's also amazing with another citrus like orange or grapefruit, which also work deliciously.

0.75 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
0.5 oz. Simple or Maple Syrup
1 Egg White or 1.5 Tbsp. Aquafaba
Splash of Soda Water

This Grapefruit Negroni Fizz is a delicious way to enjoy a homemade citrus cordial (the recipe is below) that utilizes the whole fruit and minimizes waste. The cocktail is versatile and beloved by people who like a tart citrus-forward cocktail.

0.75 oz. Grapefruit Cordial*
0.5 oz. Campari (or Aperol if you like it sweeter)
Prosecco or Mineral Water to top off
A swath of Grapefruit to Garnish

Combine all ingredients but the effervescent in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to combine and chill. Pour into a chilled glass with fresh ice, top off with something bubbly and garnish.

Citrus Cordial Recipe
4-5 Citrus Fruits  (Grapefruit, Lemon, Orange, Lime, Pomelo, Kumquat) in any combination to produce 2 cups of citrus juice
* the basic combination of 1 cup Grapefruit or Orange (sweet citrus) and 1 cup Lemon or Lime (tart citrus) yields the most versatile result.
1 cup Sugar

Wash the citrus with warm water and towel dry. Zest the peels and reserve. Squeeze citrus and combine 2 cups of juice with 1 cup of sugar and slowly heat until sugar is dissolved. Let cool to room temperature and add the zest of the citrus to the cordial and stir. Refrigerate overnight then strain out zest. Store in a glass jar for up to 6 months in the refrigerator.
