Foghorn

The Foghorn is a bold, refreshing cocktail that shows off the bright citrus notes of our Humdinger Citrus Gin. Balanced with the spice of ginger beer and a lift of fresh lime, it’s a drink that works beautifully on a summer afternoon — or as an easy crowd-pleaser at a party.

Flavour Profile

Expect a lively kick of ginger with zesty lime and the citrus burst from our gin. It’s crisp, slightly spicy, and incredibly refreshing — a step up from your standard highball.

A Little History

The Foghorn is a twist on the classic Mule family of cocktails, which traditionally combine spirit, citrus, and ginger beer. By using gin instead of vodka, the Foghorn gains layers of botanical depth for a more complex and satisfying sip.

Variations

• Ginger Ale Foghorn: Swap ginger beer for ginger ale for a softer spice and a smoother finish.
• Spicy Foghorn: Add a dash of ginger syrup or a thin slice of fresh chilli before stirring.
• Citrus Switch: Replace lime with grapefruit or lemon juice for a different citrus profile.
• Low-ABV Foghorn: Split the ginger beer with soda water (50/50) for a lighter serve.
• Barrel Foghorn: Use Humdinger Bourbon Barrel Aged Gin for subtle vanilla and warm spice.
• Classic Dry: Make it with Humdinger Dry Gin for a cleaner, juniper-led style.

Serving Tip

Build over plenty of fresh ice in a tall highball. For extra aroma, express a strip of lime peel over the top before adding the wedge.
