A Gin Mule is a drink made with gin, lime juice, and ginger beer, and is traditionally served in a copper mug or highball glass with ice. Additions like simple syrup or mint may be used in certain preparations. The spicy ginger beer and fresh lime juice balance each other out, bringing out the best in the gin’s botanical undertones. This is a contemporary take on the classic cocktail prepared with vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. Caribbean Gin Mule Recipe To make a gin gin mule, you will need the following ingredients: Instructions History of gin mule cocktail  The gin mule is a spin on the classic Moscow Mule that uses gin instead of vodka. Moscow mules are cocktails prepared with vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer, and are traditionally served in a copper mug. Its refreshing taste and novel presentation helped it immediately acquire popularity after its creation, said to have taken place in the 1940s in the United States.Instead of vodka in the Moscow Mule, gin is used to make the gin gin mule.

Caribbean Gin wins Gold at World Trophy 2022

Blue Light Caribbean Gin Wins Gold (again).

We love celebrating a win. Especially a Gold. And so, we’re super excited about this one at the Word Trophy Wine and Spirit Awards in Luxembourg this year. This judging award is “unaffected by industry bias” and is blind tasting judging process. This year, 92 of the world’s leading wine and sprit experts from around the globe tasted 1,400 different spirits from 65 countries. And, our Caribbean Gin was awarded a Gold Medal! It’s been an absolute pleasure watching our boutique batch gin makes its way around the globe and in to the hands of industry professionals. It’s even more rewarding to receive medals! We started this distillery to highlight and showcase the amazing ingredients of the Caribbean, by telling a new island story. And to be acknowledged with some of the best spirits in the world it means that we’re doing something right. Making gin in the Caribbean People looked at us like we were crazy in the beginning. Making gin in the Caribbean was unheard of. We’re in rum country and it’s made well. Really, really well. So, why do something different? Apart from the beautiful beaches, inviting smiles and vibrant music, the Caribbean is home to some of the most incredible flavours. Grenada in particular is known as the “isle of spice”. Famous for their world class nutmeg, cocoa and cinnamon. So, what better way to highlight these botanicals through a brand new medium that we loved, gin. It took a long time to come up with our botanical recipe and distillation process (but we got to drink a lot of gin test batches). However, we are happy how things have turned out. The secret? Fresh botanicals from island farms It’s always been about flavour for us. Smooth, island flavours. So, we work directly with local farmers to get the freshest and the best ingredients. It’s the only way! These fresh botanicals go into the distillation process and create our unique, island blend. “Best Value” Gold Medal We’re actually very proud of this year’s win being “best value” in the Gold Medal category. It means that not only is the award wining recipe recognised but it means that our consumers can expect great value for money. Thank you all for the support! Of course, we couldn’t make this all possible without our amazing customers and fans. So, cheers to you all, this one’s for you!

It’s not only being able to compete with some of the best in the whole Caribbean, but just being there on a whole was an experience that you can never forget.” Antonio is definitely a passionate mixologist. You can tell when he was preparing our drinks that he is both knowledgeable about he fresh island ingredients and excited by the flavour profiles.  He then described the venue and the overall feel of the place, which summed up nicely as a beach haven.  “If you love the beach and you love lovely dining home at savvy, it is relaxed.

Be creative, enjoy, try something new. It’s not everything normal. You got to stick with step outside of box.” It’ great to see his enthusiasm around creating great drinks and highlighting the amazing ingredients Grenada has to offer.  For more information about Savvy’s and to check their weekly specials you can find them on social media: @mountcinnamongrenada Aaron SalyerGin enthusiast and Caribbean Dreamer.
