I must be one of about seven people who don’t like this film (I really don’t!) but I do like this cocktail. I used a homemade Cherry Gin I made which worked well but and it does have the ‘slight’ carrot taste. Great cocktail, just a shame about the film.

Light, fresh and spritzy. Excellent warm weather drinking. Didn’t have coriander but was able to cadge some Vietnamese mint which worked very well in imo. Yum!
