The good mixer: sloe gin fizz cocktail recipe

Good mixer: sloe gin fizz
Photograph: Dan Matthews

We all need a little pick-me-up in the depths of winter, and this’ll pick you up more than most. Serves one.

15ml gin
15ml sloe gin
15ml lemon
5ml sugar
Champagne, prosecco or cava, to top up (anything will do, so long as it’s not too sweet)
Lemon twist, to garnish

Put all the ingredients apart from the fizz in a cocktail shaker, shake over cubed ice for a good 10 seconds, then strain into a champagne flute. Top with your fizz of choice, garnish with a lemon twist and serve.
