Gin & Jam Cocktail

As you may know by now, we create cocktail pairings for all of our activities, but this has to be the most match-y cocktail we’ve ever created. After going strawberry picking and making jam, we created a cocktail with our homemade jam in it. This move honestly captures the essence of what Best Day of the Week is all about.

Gin & Jam Cocktail

You may be thinking: jam…in a cocktail? And to that we say hell yes. Adding jam to a cocktail is a great way to mix up your classic gin and soda or vodka soda. It’s not really different from adding a cocktail syrup or juice, it’s just a bit thicker so it will add some texture (which we loved about it) and subtle sweetness. It’s an underrated and under utilized move in our opinion.

Gin & Jam Cocktail

We mixed up gin, lemon juice, strawberry jam and elderflower liqueur. The end result was a little bit boozy, a little bit sweet and all around super smooth.

How to Make Jam

Gin & Jam

  • 1 oz of gin
  • 1/2 oz of elderflower liqueur
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 3/4 tbs of our strawberry jam (or you can use whatever strawberry jam you have on hand)
  • Strawberries (for garnish)

Gin & Jam

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into champagne glasses, top with strawberries. Cheers!
