RECIPE TIPS

WHY GIN?

Our version uses gin because it tempers the sweetness of the drink and pairs well with the floral and herbal notes in the cocktail. For a more classic version, leave the gin out. If you're growing lemon balm in your garden, try making it into a cordial to use in place of the elderflower.
