Ingredients
- 70ml infused gin (recipe below)
- 50ml bitter liqueur (eg. Campari)
- 50ml sweet vermouth
- 2 slices of orange
Infused gin (makes about 250ml)

- 2 cloves
- zest of 1 oranges

Mixing instructions
For the infused gin:
Add all of the ingredients in a pot, except for the gin. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil then leave it on low heat for 8-10 minutes, until it gets syrupy. Leave to cool until cold before using it in the next stage.
Pour the syrup with all the spices into a glass bottle or jar, add the gin. Shake well to mix – resist trying it – and store for at least a week to infuse, the longer the better! Strain before using.
For the cocktails:
Fill up two rocks glasses with ice cubes. Stir the infused gin, martini bitters, sweet vermouth in a cocktail shaker, divide the liquid between the glasses and add a slice of orange in each.
