Our twist on a Cosmopolitan, with a stylish addition from the forests of Scotland.
In a cocktail shaker add ice, Larch and Honeysuckle spirit, Cointreau, lemon juice, cranberry juice and elderflower syrup. Shake vigorously and strain in to a martini glass. Hold a 3cm round piece of orange zest about 10cm above your cosmo and very carefully wave it over a lit match or lighter flame. Bend the outer edge of the zest in towards the flame so that the orange oils are released, then drop the zest into your drink.
