Last month, I purchased one of the special cocktail boxes from Craft Gin Club. I purchased the Margarita box. The spicy Margarita is one of my favourite cocktails, and I've not made my own margarita from scratch before. The box came with all of the ingredients needed to create your own margarita cocktail. (To make a spicy one, I ground up some bird's eye chilis and mixed the oil with the tequila, and you can make it as spicy as you want.)
The box came with the following:
Tiempo Tequila: This was a smoothe tequila, and the most important aspect of a margarita is to use a good-quality tequila. This one was a good quality.
Burnt Faith Triple Sec in 'blood orange': This spirit can be added with tequila to produce the margarita, although other orange-flavour liqueur will also work.
Bristol Syrup Co Lime Sherbet: This lime-flavoured sugar syrup helps balance the lime and sweet ingredients used to make a margarita (instead of needing simple sugar syrup and lime juice as separate ingredients).
Cornish Sea Salt Company salt flakes: I've previously purchased these salt flakes for margaritas, so this was a great addition to the box.
Belvoir Farm Raspberry Margarita: This was a non-alcoholic drink that tasted of a raspberry margarita, and I mixed some of it with the margarita for a different flavour.
