           (but delicious) takes on some

           sour – but I like to serve something with                                        45ml gin
           a twist. While it’s fun to make these                                      20ml lemon juice

           Christmas Pudding Gin, which we’ll do
           again this year. Favourite thing to eat
           when drinking a G&T? I usually drink
           my gin with soda, but I would go with                                   WHISKY SOUR
           a charcuterie board. Cured meats,
           cheese, seasonal fruit. Delicious!                                      40ml bourbon whisky

           Favourite dad joke? Did you hear the                                              Method
           rumour about the butter? No. Well, I’m                   Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker,
           not going to spread it.                                               fill with ice, shake hard.
                                                                      Single strain into a rocks glass over ice.
