If you want a savoury, non-alc cocktail with fresh garden notes, Austen bartender Caer Maiko would recommend using Snap Peas. In Tendril Loving Care, she uses a Snap Pea Shrub, which she mixes in with Seedlip Garden and Lime Juice for the perfect refreshing highball. Note – if you want to add a bit of alcohol to this, replace the Seeplip with an ounce of Gin and half an ounce of Blanco Tequila.
Shake all ingredients, except the soda water, in an ice-filled shaker tin, then strain into an ice-filled Collins glass
