Ingredients
- 50g white caster sugar
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- ½ tsp celery seeds
- juice 3 limes
- 200ml gin
- handful of ice
- 4 wedges of baby fennel
Method
- STEP 1
Start by making a syrup: put the white caster sugar in a medium-sized saucepan along with 50ml water, the fennel seeds and the celery seeds. Stir and cook gently over a really low heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, allow to cool for 10 mins, then add the lime juice.
- STEP 2
Strain the fennel and lime syrup through a fine sieve into a cocktail shaker, add the gin and a handful of ice, then shake to combine. Once the outside of the cocktail shaker feels cold, strain the mixture into 4 Martini glasses. Add a wedge of baby fennel to each glass, then serve.
