This is a British aperitivo cocktail with a bit more intention — a shaken sour built on Asterley Original, gin and raspberry, with just enough lemon to keep things bright. It takes its name from the hues you see over South London on a clear summer evening.
Ingredients
- 35 ml Asterley Original Aperitivo
- 25 ml London dry gin
- 20 ml fresh lemon juice
- 10 ml raspberry syrup (or 2 barspoons raspberry jam)
Method
Step 1: Shake
Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice. Shake hard for 10–12 seconds until well chilled and aerated.
Step 2: Strain
Fine strain into a chilled coupe or small Nick & Nora glass.
Step 3: Garnish & serve
Garnish with a thin lemon peel or a skewered raspberry and serve.
Tasting Notes
A cocktail of contrasts: the aperitivo bitterness of Asterley Original against the tartness of lemon and the sweetness of raspberry, all tied together with gin's botanicals.
