Title: Henry's Flora Dora
Categories: Beverage, Booze, Citrus, Fruits, Beer
Yield: 8 Servings

4 oz Lime juice
8 oz Gin
2 oz Cointreau or Triple Sec
2 oz Crème de Framboise
1 oz Cointreau
2 oz Raspberry syrup
12 oz Ginger beer; chilled
Cocktail glasses; chilled
Ice
Cocktail shaker
Raspberries

Chill your glasses. You can stick them into the freezer
if you have room - perhaps not if they’re your
great-great-grandfather’s finest heirlooms but if
they’re IKEA basic (which are excellent) 15 minutes in
the freezer will be fine. Otherwise fill them up with
ice cubes and chuck the ice away before serving.

Cut the limes in half using a Dexam Forest and Forge
knife with horse chestnut handle and a vintage chopping
board. Squeeze the limes using a citrus juicer.

Now for the rocket fuel. Use a jigger to measure out the
ingredients but don’t worry if it’s not exactly the
right amount. A bit of tolerance is essential in
cocktail making.

Add the gin (no need for anything fancy) and the
Cointreau. Now you need something sweet to slightly
offset the limes’ sharpness. If you have Crème de
Framboise use that. If not, you could use sugar syrup,
or some honey. The raspberry syrup will make it sweeter
too as well as boosting the gorgeous pink colour - if
you can’t find any in a shop, try making it yourself,
it’s very simple - just water, sugar, raspberries and a
dash of lemon juice.

Now get some big chunky ice cubes. Dexam’s pop-in /
pop-out ice tray produces some excellent-sized cubes.
Put half a dozen into your bullet cocktail shaker and
shake medium-vigorously half a dozen times.

Strain the ice cubes, pour the rocket fuel into the
chilled glasses so they’re roughly two thirds full then
top up with ginger beer. Add some fresh raspberries on a
cocktail stick as decoration - delicious to suck once
they’ve soaked up some fuel.
