Would you drink your pancakes? The cocktail trend shaking up Pancake Day

You can now drink the UK’s favourite pancake topping as a cocktail: lemon & sugar.

INGREDIENTS

Honey

Lemon

Gin

Vanilla syrup

Sugar

Sparkling water

METHOD

First, make the honey syrup by mixing equal parts honey and warm water. About two tablespoons for one glass. Then, stir until it’s dissolved.

Next, rim a cocktail glass with sugar by rubbing the edge with lemon juice and dipping it into the sugar.

Fill a shaker with ice and pour 50ml of gin, juice from half a lemon, all of the honey syrup you’ve just made, a teaspoon of vanilla syrup and a splash of sparkling water.

Shake well and double strain into the glass. Finish it with a lemon slice, and enjoy with a freshly made pancake.
