Easy to make cocktails using award winning spirits from Lytham Gin

I’m Sara, The Lytham Gin Lady! I escaped from teaching Chemistry and have spent the last four years making gin and my passion is now sharing easy to make cocktails using some of my award winning spirits.

Here are two absolute beauties. The first is a classic Martini using my punchy Navigator’s Gin. I like it with the savoury flavours of olives and a splash of brine to make it ‘dirty’, but it is just as delicious with a twist of lemon.

The second is The Lytham Lady. Developed by the very talented Johnny Stuchberry at Northcote, it’s a frothy, flavoursome cocktail that never fails to impress. Made with our Bee’s Knees gin to add a little bit of lancashire honey to every drop.

Dirty Martini

Strain into a martini glass, add a teaspoon of brine and two olives.

If you don’t like it dirty, omit the brine and garnish with a twist of lemon peel instead.
