FAQ – The most frequently asked questions about fruity gin cocktails

1. Which fruits go best with gin? Citrus fruits, berries (raspberries, blackberries), peaches, pomegranates, and even figs add exciting flavors.
2. Can I use frozen fruit? Yes—they cool the drink down even more, but frozen fruit loses some of its flavor.
3. Which gin is suitable for fruity recipes? Floral or citrus-heavy gins work particularly well. Juniper-strong varieties are best combined with stronger juices.
4. Why copper cups instead of glass? Copper keeps your drink cool for longer, looks elegant and adds a particularly stylish touch to your drinking experience. Important: only use for cold drinks!
5. How sweet should fruity cocktails be? That depends on personal taste – it's best to use natural sweeteners such as honey or fruit juices.
6. What tools do I need for perfect cocktails? A shaker, a bar spoon, a measuring cup, a copper mug and fresh ingredients – that's all you need to get started.
