COCKTAIL RECIPE

Here is a recipe for an amazing drink I first tried in London, in a bar called Prohibition, near London Bridge.
I couldnt source Gingerbread syrup by Monin here but am delighted to announce that now it is available over here through the guys at Food Solutions.

They carry the full range from Monin, syrups,liqueurs and purees/sauces so check them out.
