flower meadow
The flower meadow is a drink made with THE DUKE Wanderlust Gin, peanut vanilla syrup and white peach juice, served in a tumbler. This is the more demanding kind: one ingredient has to be made first, so allow eight minutes or more.

Ingredients
- 4 cl THE DUKE Wanderlust Gin
- 2 cl peanut vanilla syrup*
- 1 dash of rose water
- 4 cl white peach juice
Preparation
Pour all ingredients into a tumbler filled with ice cubes, stir and enjoy.
*Peanut vanilla syrup
Ingredients
500 ml water
500g sugar
30g peanuts
2 vanilla beans
preparation
Put the peanuts in a pan with a little oil and fry lightly until the nuts are golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside. Bring the water to the boil in a pot and add the sugar. Mix the liquid and sugar completely and bring to the boil briefly. Add the vanilla pods and peanuts and bring to the boil again briefly. Remove the pot from the heat and let it steep for about 1 hour. Then strain through a sieve into a bottle.
Tips
- Stirring rather than shaking keeps the drink clear; shaken it would turn cloudy.
- Use large ice cubes: they melt more slowly and dilute less than many small ones.
Variations
- Apple bed: With clear apple juice.
- Berry Gin Collins: With fresh berries.
- Blueberry Smash: With lime juice.
- Drippin' Beetroot: With Faude Beetroot Spirit.
Frequently asked questions
Which spirit goes into the flower meadow?
We mix it with THE DUKE Wanderlust Gin. Another gin from our house works too, but shifts the character: the Munich Dry Gin is strong and spicy and the Rough Gin fruitier and milder.
Which glass is the flower meadow served in?
We serve it in a tumbler. Chill it beforehand so the drink stays cold longer.
Is the flower meadow hard to mix?
It is the more demanding kind, because one ingredient has to be made first. The defining ingredients are THE DUKE Wanderlust Gin, peanut vanilla syrup and rose water.
