You will need

  • Gin

  • Cranberry juice

  • Lemon

  • Soda water

  • Lavender*

  • Red berries

  • Rose petals

How to make it

Fill a cocktail shaker with two measures of gin, one measure of cranberry juice and half a measure of lemon juice. Pull the beautifully scented flowers off a sprig of lavender and add this to the shaker. 

Shake, shake, shake! Really get your hips moving in order to mix this delicious love potion. Pour the cocktail into beautiful glasses filled with ice cubes. You could chill the glasses beforehand to ensure the ice doesn’t melt too quickly. Then top the glass up with soda water. Finish the love potions with a sprig of lavender, red berries and/or rose petals. 

Now it’s time for a toast. To a wonderful Christmas. To you and me. To … love!

*One more thing: never tuck in to just any old (cut) flower or plant; only use edible flowers from specialist suppliers that have been grown for human consumption.
