Method

RECIPE TIPS
HOW TO MAKE SUGAR SYRUP

To make sugar syrup put 200g white caster sugar into a saucepan with 100ml water. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved and it starts to simmer then turn off the heat and allow to cool before using. Store in a sterilised bottle for up to 1 week.

FOR A HEADY FROTH

For added flair put the gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup in the cocktail shaker, but instead of adding the ice, put in 1 egg white. Shake really well to froth the mixture, then add ice and shake again. Double strain before adding the sparkling water.

Really refreshing. Super easy to infuse the sugar syrup to add something extra too :)

Use sparkling white wine to give extra kick.

Interesting and delicious at first, but not so much when the fizz fades.
