MOON RIVER COCKTAIL RECIPE – MILE-WIDE STYLE IN YOUR HAND

The Moon River gin cocktail might only have sashayed onto the scene around 2005 but it’s got a name that sings. Yes, the very same Moon River that Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer gifted the world, and Audrey Hepburn immortalised with her dreamy voice in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961, in case you’re keeping score).

Modern? Sure. Classic? Absolutely - if you do it right. And the right way? That’s with GDC’s Pears of Paradise Premium Gin. Juicy and mellow fruit notes, warm spice via grains of paradise and the classic piney brightness of juniper, this gin doesn’t mess around and it’s conveniently available to buy online in 375ml and 750ml flasks. Thank us later.
