Summer may be a distant memory, but that’s no reason to give up on some of our favourite flavours. We use Bloom gin in this, because its botanicals include honeysuckle and pomelo, which lend welcome citrus notes. Serves one.
25ml gin (Bloom, ideally)
25ml lemon juice
20ml honey
Prosecco, to top
1 pinch dried lavender, plus 1 sprig to garnish
Hard shake everything except the prosecco in a shaker, then strain into a flute. Top with fizz and garnish: for a flourish, singe the end of the lavender sprig and put it burnt side up in the glass, all smoking and aromatic.
