The Corgis -- and a cocktail!

It's been a good year for England, and therefore a good year for corgis. The Jubilee and the Olympics both brought the queens adorable corgis into the spotlight and caused many companies to produce a smattering of corgi themed items. Which makes me incredibly happy.

Then I found out a hotel in Great Britain was producing a Corgi cocktail and I knew I had to recreate it, you know, without tasting it. So here's my twist on the corgi cocktails. It's kind of like Teemo. He's not a real corgi, but he's a twist on one, and I think he's pretty darn cute.

Just mix a corgi into your cocktail! No. Just Kidding. 

Also this is a cocktail for an adult human. Not dogs. Do not feed this to your dog. Instead, give him/her/them a berry while you make yourself a drink

 

What You'll Need
1 Ounce London Gin (I got cheap stuff because the next ingredient is pricey)
1 Ounce St. Germain Elderflower Liquer
5-6 Blackberries
5-6 Raspberries
1/2 Lime
3 Leaves Fresh Mint
Crushed Ice

Start with an empty glass. Using a spoon, muddle the 10-12 berries together. Add in the mint leaves and muddle again. Finally add the juice of 1/2 a lime and mix.

I don't have an ice maker - if you are like me - make crushed ice by wrapping your ice cubes in a towel and smashing them with a meat hammer! Add the crushed ice to your drink. I used 2 cubes.

Next, add 1 ounce (a shot) of each type of alcohol! Stir and garnish with fresh mint, then enjoy the Corgi!
