Ingredients

  • 40ml Portobello Road Gin
  • 15ml Orange Colombo (orange wine)
  • 15ml Cocchi Rosa (rose wine)
  • 20ml papaya syrup
  • 20ml fresh lemon juice
  • 2 dashes boker bitters

Difficulty: Easy

Method

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker. 

Fill the shaker with ice and give a good hard shake for 15 seconds. 

Double strain into a coupe or nick and nora

Express the oils from a lemon peel then garnish with a blood orange pate de fruit (fancy jelly)

Papaya syrup is made by peeling and deseeding a papaya. Weigh then dice into cubes. 

Add the same amount of sugar and then vac pac and leave for 12 hours or until all the sugar is dissolved.

This can be done in a jar or container, but will take a bit longer and will need to be shaken every couple hours.
