Gin and jam? Yes, it really works. Two delicious treats, together at last. Sweet, summery and smashingly simple.

1. A cocktail shaker

2. 60ml gin

3. 2 teaspoons of your favourite jam

4. 20ml fresh lemon juice

5. 10ml sugar syrup (optional)

6. Ice

1. Add everything to a shaker filled with ice and shake hard to break up the jam. 

2. Give it a taste; if it needs more sweetness, add the sugar syrup. 

3. Strain well into a rocks glass with ice.
