Make Mum a Feeney’s G & Tea

Do something nice for mum.

Wouldn’t it be nice if mum was able to put her feet up and relax with a Feeney’s G & Tea.

It is super simple to make and also delicious. Mum will thank you.

What do you need to make this fabulous drink?

  • 40ml Feeney’s Irish Cream
  • 10ml Bloom Gin
  • 2 dashes of Orange Bitters
  • 5ml Caramel Syrup
  • 35ml Camomile Tea
  • Ice for the drink
  • Cocktail Shaker, measurements for ingredients, cocktail strainer.
  • Martini glass
  • Garnishes: I chose a strawberry and some nutmeg to sprinkle on top. It also would be yummy with shaved dark chocolate and strawberry too!

I shook the cocktail shaker and mixed all ingredients around for a good solid 10 seconds, or maybe more. I wanted to make sure that they were all chilled with the ice.

Normally I look a bit more put together but it was a long day and I needed a drink. I thought that this is like every mum out there. I was ready with my comfortable clothes on to sit on the lounge and relax with a nice drink just for me!

I thought the drink was a nice twist on a classic and one that I will love to have again.  It was very tasty and just what I needed to help me relax and forget about my busy day.

Gin Cocktail Recipes

Yesterday was World Gin Day and I was looking forward to a Gin and Tonic with my new Roku Gin from Japan, however, I was so exhausted after exhausting my five-year-old. I just had dinner and went to bed. So I will be celebrating World Gin Day a day later…however, I really don’t need a special day to celebrate a nice drink of gin, do you?

Which was a pity due to the fact I do love a gin cocktail or two.

Cape Byron Distillery, which is the home of the beloved Brookie’s Gin sent some gin cocktail recipes for everyone to try.
