Gin Austen - An Exclusive Mr Darcy Recipe!

We have an exclusive additional Mr Darcy recipe for you Gin Austen fans!

The marvelous Colleen Mullaney, author of the run-away success 'Gin Austen: 50 Cocktails to Celebrate the Novels of Jane Austen', has created an exclusive bonus recipe just for us at the Jane Austen Centre and Online Gift Shop. Gin Austen Mr Darcy's Demise

It's called "Mr. Darcy's Demise", and just like Mr Darcy himself, it's strong, delicious, and has a bitter quality to it.

Mr. Darcy's Demise

Serves 4

6oz. Gin ("I like Hendricks as its not so juniper forward" - Colleen)

4oz. Pineapple juice

1oz. Fresh lime juice

Rosé wine to top - chilled

Edible Blossoms for garnish ("I love using nasturtium blossoms" - Colleen)

In a shaker with ice, pour gin and juices, and shake well. Pour into wine glasses, top with chilled rosé and serve.

Naturally we had to try it out at the first opportunity, and we can attest that, not only is it absolutely delicious and more-ish, but that too many of these could certainly cause the demise of even the most stoic of characters!
