Laxtons Gage
Makes 1
The lovely balance of sweet and sour created by the preserve and lemon juice in this refreshing, soda-style cocktail makes for the perfect summer drink, sans alcohol. Throw in the beautiful vibrant green colour and you may find it easier to swear off alcohol than you thought.

15 ml lemon juice
Soda water, to top
Edible flowers, to garnish
