Ingredients

  • 50ml Jaffa Cake Gin a double measure

    Half-fill your cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in a double measure of Jaffa Cake Gin,. Add a single measure of orange juice. Then two teaspoons of sugar syrup.

  • Step 2

    Secure the lid, and shake for around 10 seconds to chill and combine your ingredients.  

  • Step 3

    Pop some fresh ice cubes into a tall glass. Place your cocktail strainer over the mouth of the shaker and carefully pour your gin mix into the glass. Top up the glass with sparkling water, give it a stir, then add the garnishes - and you’re ready to serve!
