Cocktails and Serves
Take a look at our suggested serves and cocktails, inspired by the south of France and the fine work of some of our collaborators. This page is filled with great recipes to try out at home. Make sure we can see some of your own creations by using #letarotspirits or sending them to us directly and maybe they will find a home here!
The Soleil Serve
The Way we think it's served best
Put two or three cubes of in the bottom of a balloon tumbler and pour over your desired measure of Soleil gin. Add a slice of orange and taste. If you prefer, add just a dash of Indian tonic water - not too much, you don't want to drown the quality sensation!
