Cocktail of the week: Lahpet’s eucamphora – recipe

This fruity, spicy, floral twist on the gin fizz makes for an excellent, early summer season sip.

Eucamphora

Serves 1

40ml gin – I exploit Bombay Sapphire
2 tsp gooseberry and elderflower jam – I just like the one by Rosebud Preserves
15ml limoncello
15ml elderflower cordial
– I exploit Bottlegreen
30ml citrus juice (lemon and/or orange)
A pinch of salt
Chilli flakes, to rim the glass
Soda water, to high
1 lemon twist and ½ gooseberry (or ½grape), to garnish

Put the gin, jam, limoncello, cordial, citrus juice and salt right into a shaker crammed with ice, then shake laborious. Rub lemon round half the rim of an quaint glass, then dip into the chilli flakes so that they follow the glass. Fill the glass with ice, then double pressure the contents of the shaker into the glass and high with soda water. Garnish and serve.
