This is another one of our autumn/winter favourites along with the Bertha Hedgerow Martini.

This cocktail was created in the mid-1980’s by Dick Bradsell in Fred’s Club, Soho, London. Bertha works so well with the fruit and citrus and it is a gorgeous fireside aperitif.

METHOD

Shake the Bertha’s Revenge Gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup in a cocktail shaker then transfer to a tumbler filled to the brim with crushed ice.
