Siam gold

Vodka may fortify this cocktail, but it's led by the interplay between fino sherry, banana liqueur and sweet 'n' sour.

SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.

A brandy-forward, cherry and herbal-flavoured late-night sipper. If you're in the mood for an on-the-rocks serve, then try 40ml cognac/brandy, 40ml...

Elderflower's floral notes are subdued by tequila-laced and refreshing herbal minerality.

Elegant, herbal and complex with pleasing sweet and savoury interplay.

Spirituous and delicately bittersweet, with zesty orange and underlying herbal complexity.
