Here’s a lovely wintery seasonal cocktail that is delicately scented by elderflower and apples.

In a cocktail shaker 1/3 filled with ice, add 25ml St Germain, 25ml Briottet apple liqueur, 25ml Bombay Sapphire gin, and 25ml pressed apple juice. Shake well and pour into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a sprinkle of silver and/or gold leaf.
