Currant gin is a simple DIY cocktail ingredient that can be made by combining 250 ml (1 cup) gin with 100 g (3.5 oz, or ~1/2 cup, slightly mounded) red currants in a mason jar or other tightly sealing container. Use a spoon to gently mash the currants a little to help them release some juice, then set aside to infuse for 1 month, shaking every few days. When the gin is ready, simply strain out the solids before using.
