Perfect Serves of Fyn

02 February 2022

To really enjoy your Fyn, make sure it's a Perfect Serve...

All Mythical Fynoderee Manx Spirits from the Isle of Man have a recommended garnish and preferred Fever-Tree mixer(s) which help to accentuate the flavours of the botanicals in our unique recipes.

A slice of lemon and a low calibre tonic will not do your Fyn justice, so next time you're served Fyn - in a bar or at home - make sure you ask for a Perfect Serve.

Perfect Serves of Fynoderee Manx Dry Gin

To really enjoy your Fyn...

1. Pour a double measure (5cl) of Fynoderee Manx Dry Gin over ice
2. Add Fever-Tree Premium Indian Tonic Water
3. And Garnish with:

• Elder Shee* - a twist of lemon peel
• Elder Shee Rose* (pre-order now!) - juicy lime and raspberries (also lovely with fresh mint or lemon thyme)
• Spring - a wedge of pink grapefruit - or a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme
• Summer - slices of fresh, juicy strawberry - or some raspberries or cucumber
• Autumn - slices of fresh apple and/ or some blackberries
• Winter - a twist of orange peel - and a beautiful cassia quill if you have one handy
• Kerala Chai - juicy slices of lime
• Pink Summer - fresh raspberries

*Our Elder Shee and Elder Shee Rose Editions are especially delicious paired with Fever-Tree Premium Mediterranean Tonic Water, or alternatively Elderflower Tonic Water or Sicilian Lemon Tonic Water.

Fever-Tree's Aromatic Tonic Water (the pink one), also pairs nicely with Summer and Kerala Chai.

So, if you don't have our recommended fresh garnish to hand, and plan to reach for a lemon, please think twice before you slice!

While lemon does go well with Elder Shee, Autumn and Sloe, a slice of fresh, juicy LIME is generally a better 'back-up' garnish than lemon to best complement Fynoderee Manx Dry gins - or some Paula's Kitchen Dehydrated Garnish (please see below).

 

Manx Sloe Gin

For the perfect "Manx Sloe Gin Serve", pour a large measure of Fynoderee Manx Sloe Gin into a tumbler and top with some freshly squeezed lemon juice and Fever-Tree Premium Soda Water.

 

Manx Bumbee Vodka

Fynoderee Manx Bumbee Vodka tastes buzzing with slices of zzzzingy lime and favourite Fever-Tree mixers such as Fever-Tree Soda, Fever-Tree Sicilian Lemonade and Fever-Tree Ginger Beer.

 

Glashtyn Spiced Manx Rum

For the perfect "Glashtyn Serve", pour a double measure of Glashtyn Spiced Manx Rum into a tiki glass over ice, add Fever-Tree Madagascan Cola or Fever-Tree Ginger Ale and garnish with a wedge of lime.

 

Dehydrated Garnish

We know that keeping a fresh supply of fruit is not always easy though… So, fellow Manx producer Paula’s Kitchen have created a range of beautiful dehydrated citrus fruits that can be used instead – the perfect addition to every Fyn lover’s store cupboard!

Simply drop a slice or two of Paula's Kitchen Dehydrated Garnish into your favourite Fyn & Tonic to release the intense zesty flavour and add a zing of colour…

No slicing, no waste and no fuss!

Each bag of Paula's Kitchen Dehydrated Garnish contains 100% locally and naturally dehydrated fruit with no colourings, no flavourings and no additives.

Suggested dehydrated garnish pairings with our premium Fynoderee spirits:

• Pink Grapefruit with Spring
• Orange with Winter
• Lemon with Elder Shee, Autumn and Sloe
• Lime with Kerala Chai, Bumbee Vodka and Glashtyn Spiced Rum (and is also a better alternative choice then Lemon with Spring, Summer and Winter!)
• Mixed Citrus - contains 3 slices each of orange, lemon, lime and pink grapefruit is therefore a good match with our range of Mythical Fynoderee Manx Spirits
