Method

  1. Mix the gin with the sugar syrup and the lemon juice. Cover and chill for up to 24 hours until needed. When ready to serve, pour 3cm into champagne flutes (or just over 1cm into coupes), top with champagne and serve with a twist of lemon peel (see tip).

  1. To make perfect citrus twists for cocktails, peel a slender strip with a sharp veg peeler from around the middle of the fruit, then run your finger firmly along the underside of the strip, so it curls. If you peel the strip over the cocktail glasses, the oils from the skin will spray onto the drink, adding flavour.
