8. Gingerbread Man Julep

Portobello Road Gin

Remember, when it comes to gingerbread men, size doesn't matter.

Ingredients:

50ml Portobello Road gin

5ml Pain D’Epice Syrup

Handful of mint

Small gingerbread man

Method:

Rub a fistful of mint around the inside of the measuring cup with the back of a wooden spoon - the aim is to coat the inside of the cup with the oils and aromas from the mint. Once the mint is thoroughly bruised and the cup completely coated, discard the mint.

Next, fill the cup about halfway with cracked ice. Add the gin and the pain d’epice syrup and stir. Top the cup with a heap of crushed ice and deck with mint. Dust the whole thing with icing sugar and add a gingerbread man to garnish.
