Jin & Jam: A Reimagined Gin and Tonic with Majic Jar Apple Cinnamon Jam
Artisanal Alchemy
Gin and tonic is a timeless classic, a staple in cocktail culture. But what if we could take this elegant drink and infuse it with a cozy, spiced twist? Enter Jin & Jam, a reimagined G&T featuring the warm, aromatic notes of Majic Jar’s Apple Cinnamon Jam. This drink is perfect for those who appreciate the balance of citrus, botanicals, and a hint of sweetness with subtle spice.
A Sensory Prelude
Before mixing the drink, we begin with a simple yet effective step to elevate its citrus notes. Swirl a bit of fresh lemon juice around a chilled glass to coat the inner surface, allowing the essence to linger before pouring it out. This delicate layer of citrus oil primes the glass, ensuring each sip carries a hint of refreshing brightness.
The Perfect Blend
Now, it's time to craft the cocktail:
Ingredients:
-
60ml gin
-
1 generous teaspoon Majic Jar Apple Cinnamon Jam
-
Fresh lemon juice (for priming the glass)
-
Ice
-
Chilled tonic water
-
Orange slice (for garnish)
Method:
-
Prepare the glass: Swirl lemon juice inside a glass, then discard the juice.
-
Shake it up: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add gin and a generous teaspoon of Majic Jar Apple Cinnamon Jam.
-
Mix well: Shake vigorously to ensure the jam blends seamlessly with the gin.
-
Strain: Pour the mixture into the prepared glass, straining out the ice.

Why It Works
