Ingredients

50ml your chosen Gin – we love it with our Ragdale Hall Spa Signature Gin, why not pick up a full size of mini bottle when you next visit!

25ml Fresh Lime Juice

15ml Spiced Orange Syrup (spiced with cinnamon and cloves)

15ml Pomegranate Syrup

Garnish with dried orange wheel and pomegranate seeds to preference

Method

Chill the Glass: Place your cocktail glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the drink.

Mixing: In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, orange and pomegranate  syrup and lime juice.

Shake: Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. The outside of the shaker should be frosty, making the mixture inside thoroughly chilled.

Serve: Discard the ice water from your chilled glass if you used this method. Strain the cocktail mixture into your glass.

Garnish: Place the dried orange wheel to float on top of your cocktail and sprinkle a few pomegranate seeds for an elegant finish.

Enjoy!
