Sweet Sting

Sweet Sting takes its cue from a crisp wander through the foothills of the beacon mountain, where the air is cold, the paths are quiet, and warmth comes from each other’s company. It holds the promise of seasons to come and showcases the wild raspberries on the path and honeyed warmth on the breeze.

Built on the bold, versatile character of Ben Lomond Gin, this gentle riff on the popular serve the Bee’s Knees pairs fresh lemon and golden honey with soft fruit depth. Bright, balanced, and quietly generous, it captures the comfort of winter shared and the anticipation of adventures ahead.

Ingredients

50ml Ben Lomond Scottish Gin
25ml Lemon Juice
2 tsp Honey
6 Raspberries (5 for cocktail, 1 for garnish)

Method

Muddle five raspberries in a cocktail shaker. Add Ben Lomond Scottish Gin, lemon juice and honey, then shake hard with ice. Fine strain into a chilled rocks glass with fresh ice. Garnish with a single raspberry.

This is a really versatile recipe. Don't have raspberries? Try substituting out raspberries for other berries - like blueberries or strawberries!

Top Tip

This recipe uses fresh raspberries but you can also try it with frozen raspberries. Let them come up to room temperature a little first though, as very cold berries could solidify your honey into a blob!
