FIRST JOURNEYS - A RACE AROUND THE WORLD 2020 - PIN 04 OF 23
ELEPHANT GIN, Hamburg, Germany
AROUND THE WORLD, ONE BOTTLE AT A TIME.
PHILEAS FOGG WOULD SURELY APPROVE
Day 3... Sad to leave my virtual tour of Italy and Amalfi as it's such a beautiful place, but my journey continues and I've headed to Germany to catch a connecting flight. The clue as to where I'm heading next on my world tour is in the cocktail name and gin used!
HAKUNA MATATA
50ml Elephant Gin
25ml Guava syrup
25ml Lemon Juice
25ml Vermouth
15ml Gingerbread Syrup
50ml Apple Juice
I've adapted this recipe that you can find on the Elephant Gin website, by substituting some of the ingredients for those I had to hand. Elephant Gin uses botanicals sourced in Africa, together with fresh apples and ginger, so it's clear to see where the inspiration for the recipe comes from. They also give 15% of all proceeds to foundations fighting the illegal ivory trade.
Check back tomorrow to see where my virtual overnight flight lands!
