Spring Cocktail Recipe: Pink Gin 75

Try this clever twist on a classic cocktail – a refreshing blend of berry – or rhubarb – flavoured pink gin, prosecco, grapefruit juice and raspberries.

Prep: 5 mins Skill level: Easy Serves 1

Ingredients
• 50ml pink gin, berry or rhubarb flavoured gins work well
• 3 raspberries, plus 1 extra to garnish, if you like
• 1 tbsp freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice
• 1 tsp sugar syrup (optional)
• ice
• champagne or prosecco, to top up
• edible flower petals, to garnish (optional)

Method
1. Tip the pink gin, raspberries, grapefruit juice and sugar syrup, if using, into a cocktail shaker along with a handful of ice. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels ice-cold.
2. Double-strain the drink into a champagne flute or coupe glass, then top up with champagne or prosecco. Drop in a raspberry or garnish with edible flower petals.
