Crafted for Active Living: Fireside Collins by Pentire

by Toni Din

Pentire started with a deep love and appreciation for nature and the outdoors. Creating a non-alcoholic spirit which captures the beauty, power and immense flavour of plants and enables clarity of mind and meaningful experiences outdoors, is what drives them.

Pentire consider their impact in everything they do, and do their upmost to keep their environmental footprint to a minimum.

As a transition into the colder months the team at Pentire share their take on a Tom Collins with NARU: The Fireside Collins.

A modern take on the classic Collins serve. Expect flavours of smoke and caramelised lemon.

Ingredients

– 50ml Pentire Adrift
– 25ml charred lemon syrup*
– Soda to taste
– 2 charred lemon wheels to garnish*

Method

Fill a highball glass with ice cubes, measure in the Pentire, charred lemon syrup and top up with soda. Stir and garnish with the thin wheels of charred lemon.

Charred Lemon Syrup*

– 1kg caster sugar
– 800g water
– 3 unwaxed charred lemons, zest and juice
– 4 tsp of citric acid

Method
– Bring the water to a simmer before taking off the heat and adding the sugar, stirring until it has all dissolved.

– Next add the citric acid. Meanwhile zest the  lemons before cutting in half and placing them face down on the medium heat of a wood fired grill. The aim is for a little charring and some caramelisation.

– Then juice them into the cooling syrup. Stir well and then cover and allow to cool before fine straining into a sealed sterile container. Store in the fridge and use within two weeks.

*To char the lemon for a garnish, place slices of fresh lemon face down in the hot dry frying pan and flip over once they begin to char.
