You simply can\u2019t have one without the other.<\/p>\n<p>When starting out, the base spirit is always the inspiration behind the combination of ingredients. Bitter and sour components then provide the \u2018fresh\u2019 element while sweet ingredients are used to enhance flavours and to balance bitterness or acidity. Generally speaking, the gold standard ratio is 2:1:1 \u2013 two parts liquor to one part each sweet and sour\/ bitter.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s one that The Cape Town Gin &amp; Spirits Company want you to try \u2013 and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>MOUNT CEDAR<br \/>Ingredients<br \/>? 50ml Cape Town Gin Rooibos Red Gin<br \/>? 20ml red vermouth<br \/>? 25ml pineapple juice<br \/>? 15ml pineapple syrup<br \/>? 100ml Indian tonic<br \/>?
