Method

Step 1

Fill a cocktail shaker with cubes of ice.

Step 2

Using a jigger, measure 40ml gin with a spot of elderflower, 20ml Sauvignon Blanc, 20ml cloudy apple juice and 15ml Earl Grey syrup into the shaker.

Step 3

Shake the mixture vigorously in the cocktail shaker until the surface of the shaker feels chilled. Strain the liquid into a Coupe glass through both a cocktail strainer and sieve. This is to remove any trace of ice or solids, and is a technique known as ‘double straining’.
