WHAT YOU’LL NEED

10 ml dry vermouth, infused with lemongrass and kaffir lime (see tip) | 45 ml Grey Goose vodka | 5 ml kaffir lime syrup (see tip) | 25 ml apple juice | 5 ml lime juice | Very thinly sliced kaffir lime leaves to serve

WHAT TO DO

3. Add vodka, syrup and combined juices and shake vigorously until icy cold (about 10 seconds).

AND THEN

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and serve garnished with kaffir lime leaves.

TIP

To make infused dry vermouth, add 1 stalk of lemongrass and 6 bruised kaffir lime leaves to 1 bottle of dry vermouth. Stand for 2 days before using. To make kaffir lime syrup, bring 100gm of caster sugar and 100ml of water to the simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves, then cool and blend with 5-6 kaffir lime leaves, strain and refrigerate until required.
