November's Cocktail of the month is a playful, pink gin cocktail ginspired by the Northern Lights!

This gorgeous pink blend is inspired by the wilderness of the Shetland Islands, where only the hardiest arctic botanicals can grow. In these northern reaches, the Northern Lights – called Merry Dancers in local legend – aren’t an un-common sight through the wild nights of winter. Mix up with the Shetland Reel Filska Gin from our November 2018 gin of the month box and enjoy whilst bundled up by the fire.

50ml Shetland Reel Filska Gin
2 dashes bitters (optional)
25ml blanco vermouth
5ml honey
Grapefruit wheels and a sprig of mint, to garnish
