Cocktail of the week: Rich Woods’ recipe for cacao and lemon spritz

Easter wouldn’t be Easter with out chocolate in some form or type, and there’s no purpose it shouldn’t characteristic within the cocktail you drink to welcome the Easter bunny.

Cacao and lemon spritz

25ml good gin – I take advantage of Bombay Sapphire Premier Cru (or lemon gin)
20ml creme de cacao white liqueur
1 sprint lemon bitters
5-10ml commonplace sugar syrup
, relying on how a lot of a candy tooth you have got
1 lemon wedge
50ml soda water

Prosecco, to prime
1 lemon leaf, or 1 lemon wheel and a mint sprig, to garnish

Put all the pieces besides the soda and prosecco in a big wine glass and half-fill with cubed ice. Stir to dilute, then add 50ml soda. Fill with extra ice, add prosecco to prime, then cap with extra cubed ice and garnish. Should you’ve managed to pay money for a lemon leaf, fold it in half alongside the backbone, to launch the important oils and intensify its lemony aroma; failing that, a lemon wheel and a giant sprig of recent mint will do the trick.
