Ingredients

  • 50ml gin - we'd recommend The Lakes Distillery Gin for this one
  • 30ml sugar syrup
  • 5 raspberries
  • 1tsp raspberry jam
  • Ice
  • To Garnish
  • Soda water
  • 1 sprig mint
  • 2 raspberries on a cocktail stick
  • 1tsp raspberry jam
  • Ice
  • For the Sugar Syrup
  • 2 parts sugar
  • 1 part water

Instructions

Need another use for jam besides spreading it onto your toast? It’s just delicious in this gin and jam cocktail that’s perfect for the summer.

Method

For the Sugar Syrup:

  1. Dissolve the sugar in water over a low heat. Make a big batch, pop into a sterilised jar and keep in fridge for whenever you make a cocktail.

For the Cocktail:

  1. Place all of the cocktail ingredients into a cocktail shaker with a couple of ice cubes and shake really well.
  2. Half fill cocktail glass/glass of choice with cubed ice.
  3. Take the shaker and pour over the cubed ice.
  4. Top the glass up with a touch of soda water.
  5. Garnish with a sprig of mint, a teaspoon of jam and a couple of raspberries on a cocktail stick.

Chefs Tip

To make a bigger batch, just multiply all of the ingredients by four, and mix together in a jug instead of using a shaker, then pour into glasses over ice.
