Olivier Ward of Gin Foundry showcased Explorer's Gin on Channel 4 Sunday Brunch with a modern twist to a classic Mexican cocktail, the Paloma.
The Paloma is known for being a refreshing and thirst quenching cocktail in Mexico, an is usually made with tequila. In Spanish the word means ‘Dove’.
A light and fruity drink with a great fizz and one of the smoothest drinks you can mix, it is incredibly moorish and will make you go back for more. The fresh citrus really contrasts the western red cedar notes of Explorer’s Gin.
