Bee’s Knees

You will need…

Steps to make…

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Put all ingredients into cocktail shaker. Bartenders tip – to make a honey syrup just mix honey and boiling water (We like to use 1-part hot water straight out the kettle with 1-part honey). Stir, and leave in the fridge to cool. Alternatively, you can also use a really light-coloured runny honey. Shake with ice. Double strain into a chilled glass. Traditionally served straight up but equally enjoyable served over ice.

Enjoy!

 

Elsanta Fizz

You will need…

Steps to make…

Fill a highball glass with cubed ice. Shake the gin, liqueur, lemon juice and syrup. Strain into the glass. Top with soda water. Garnish with the taste of an English Summer: a slice of fresh strawberry and sprig of mint.

Wibble

You will need…

Steps to make…

Chill a martini glass. Shake all the ingredients thoroughly. Strain into the chilled glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon peel and blackberries. For the true taste – While it requires some extra effort, home-squeezed grapefruit will retain the fruit’s natural sweetness without the bitter edge that can dominate shop-bought juice. Use pink grapefruit for a slightly sweeter finish, and white grapefruit for a touch of natural bitterness.

Enjoy!
