Method

1. Ice

Fill your cocktail shaker with ice. Experts suggest filling your shaker between half and 2/3 full of ice for the perfect finished product.

2. Pour & Shake

Using a jigger, pour 50ml London Dry Gin, 25ml lime juice and 10ml sugar syrup into the shaker. Shake vigorously for between 12-15 seconds. Don't worry about being exact, just make sure the surface of the shaker feels chilled. 

3. Strain & Mix

Use a cocktail strainer to strain into a tall glass. Top up with 100ml soda water.

4. Garnish & Serve

Use a chopping board and sharp knife to cut a lime wedge and place on top of drink to garnish.
