Make your own cocktails
For a great gin & tonic, just take a glass with some ice, pour in around 100ml of sparkling water, about 20ml of Jeffrey's, an appropriate great gin. Stir.
But if you want to shake it up a bit and make some amazing flavours at home (or ask when you find a bar or restaurant with the exceptional good taste to stock Jeffrey's), take some of our Handcrafted Cordial and find your own mix. Here's a few recommendations of some firm favourites of ours.

The Miller's Tale
Normally, Martin Miller's is seen as a superb clean and straight gin. This mix takes it to another glorious dimension!
-
a measure of two of Martin Miller
-
a measure of Jeffrey's Sicilian Lemon & Warm Spices
-
Plenty of ice
-
A squeeze and a twist of lemon
Amazing Gordon
Many people are a bit sniffy about Gordon's. We've surprised more than a few with this one, because the floral nature of Gordon's is completely masked normally. This is a revelation.
-
a measure of Gordon's Dry Gin
-
a measure of Jeffrey's Sicilian Lemon & Warm Spices
-
A squeeze and a twist of lemon
-
Plenty of ice
Little Monkey
We've known Sherwin and Tim pretty much since they started from a small still in the back of a pub and loved the distinctive oriental flavours of their gins. This was the lovely mix we discovered early on.
-
a measure or two of Tarsier South-East Asian Dry Gin
-
a measure of Jeffrey's Oriental Lime
-
A sliver of ginger
-
a sliver of chilli
-
plenty of ice
Warm Indian
Opihr is a gin which many people find difficult to pair with. Largely because they haven't tried this yet. The hot version is equally great, but try this first.
-
a measure or two of Opihr Gin
-
a measure of Jeffrey's Sicilian Lemon & Warm Spices
-
plenty of ice
-
a sliver of chilli
Fruity Gordon
Many is the time we have had people say they don't like tonic but they do like Gordon's Pink Gin. Equally many, after tasting this recipe, say they don't think they have tasted Gordon's Pink Gin properly before.
-
a measure or two of Gordon's Pink Gin
-
a measure of Jeffrey's Yarrow, Rosehip & Elderflower
-
a slice of strawberry
-
a plenty of ice

They repeated the success of their first recipe when they introduced a Southeast Asian version of a pink gin, which is gorgeous.
-
a measure or two of Tarsier Oriental Pink Gin
-
a measure of Jeffrey's Yarrow, Rosehip & Elderflower
-
couple of raspberries
-
plenty of ice
Warmth of Seville
Tanqueray Sevilla is a solid favourite with a lot of people. Everyone - honestly, everyone! - loves this. Warm spices, oranges, what's not to like.
-
a measure or two of Tanqueray Sevilla
-
a measure of Jeffrey's Sicilian Lemon & Warm Spices
-
A slice of orange
-
plenty of ice
Rhubarb Rhubarb
This works with many rhubarb gins, but Tiger Ruby is particularly good. The flavour of rhubarb is utterly amazing.
-
a measure or two of Tiger Ruby
-
a measure of Jeffrey's Oriental Lime
-
A slice of lime
-
plenty of ice
Wodka
Vodka is under-rated in these gin-laden times. People forget that about 60% of vodka isn't the spirit. There is a lot of opportunity for greatness. These are two examples.
-
a measure or two of Tiger Vodka or Arbikie Vodka
-
a measure of Jeffrey's Sicilian Lemon & Warm Spices
-
Slice of lemon
-
plenty of ice
Blooming Jeffrey's
The lovely floral nature of Bloom gin is enjoyed by many, but it is quite surprising just how well it comes through here. Daffy's is a quite beautiful alternative (which we sometimes prefer).
-
a measure or two of Bloom or Daffy's gin
-
a measure of Jeffrey's Yarrow, Rosehip & Elderflower
-
Slice of lemon
-
plenty of ice

Jeffrey's Negroni
The bitterness of quinine in a tonic syrup works brilliantly in a Negroni, but Jeffrey's Classic Premium Indian tonic syrup makes this a bit special..

-
2 measures Jeffrey's Classic Premium Indian Tonic Syrup
-
2 measures Aperol

A squeeze of lemon

-
1 serve of Prosecco
