Meadowcourt Cocktails
Here at Meadowcourt Gin, we are all about honouring the history of the era in which the house was built. Since 1914 is on the cusp of the end of the Edwardian Period and the start of the First World War, we can take our inspiration from a hugely changing period in English History. So let us take you back to a 1914 when cocktails were fabulous.

Pour the lemon juice, sugar syrup and gin into a cocktail shaker then fill up with ice. Shake well then strain into a champagne flute.
