The Proper Drinking Manual
-
The Yorkshire Spritz (Seasonal Fruits)
Light, bubbly and genuinely sophisticated. Takes the fuss out of making something decent.
Recipe and Method
Ingredients: 20ml Joey's Cordial (Seasonal Fruits), 75ml Prosecco (or sparkling alternative), 50ml Soda Water (or Premium Tonic) and a handful of frozen berries or a wide lemon twist for garnish (make it look nice, like you’re trying to impress your Nan).
Method:
Pour 20ml of Joey's Seasonal Fruits cordial into a wine glass or goblet.
Add the Prosecco and Soda Water/Tonic.
Stir very gently to combine the ingredients. If you shake it, you're doing it wrong.
Garnish with the berries or lemon twist.
-
The Proper Dark & Spiced (Apple & Blackcurrant)
Deep, warming and comforting. A grown-up twist on a classic flavour.
Ingredients: 25ml Joey's Cordial (Apple & Blackcurrant), 50ml Spiced Dark Rum (the bolder the better, don't be shy), 15ml Fresh Lime Juice, Premium Ginger Ale to top up and Star Anise and a slice of fresh apple for garnish.
Method:
Fill a rocks glass or highball with proper ice. (Cloudy, melting ice is a cardinal sin.)
Add Joey's Cordial, Spiced Rum and the fresh lime juice.
Stir well to chill and integrate the flavours.
Top with Ginger Ale (use quality mixers -they matter, you're buying a premium product, see it through).
Garnish properly with the Star Anise and apple.
-
The Zesty Fix (Zesty Orange)
Sharp, clean and punchy - the no-fuss classic perfected.
Ingredients: 30ml Joey's Cordial (Zesty Orange), 45ml Tequila (Blanco - it's cleaner than Gin here, but do what you like, we aren't judging your poor life choices), Soda Water or Premium Tonic to top up and a fresh lime wedge and dried orange wheel for garnish.
Method:
Fill a rocks glass or highball with proper ice.
Combine Joey's Cordial and Tequila/Vodka in the glass.
Stir briefly to chill.
Top with Soda or Tonic (don't skimp on the mixer, we’re not here to play games).
Squeeze and drop in the fresh lime wedge and add the dried orange wheel.
