- Make the syrup by adding the sugar to a heatproof jug with the chillies and crushed chillies. Give everything a good mix, bruising the chillies into the sugar to release their fl avour. Add 100ml boiling water, mix until the sugar has dissolved and set aside to steep for 1-4 hrs. Strain through a sieve into an airtight container.
- To make the cocktail, put 50ml spiced syrup, the vodka and fresh lemon juice in a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice and shake vigorously for 1 min. Strain into a tall glass over fresh ice cubes, then top up with sparkling water and garnish with the sliced lemon and green chillies, if using.

Tip
This makes 300ml syrup, so enough for 6 cocktails. The spiced syrup will keep in the fridge for up to 2 months in a sterilised jar* so you can whip up a cocktail when you like.
*To sterilise glass jars, wash in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Dry in the oven for 15-20 mins at gas 1, 140°C, fan 120°C until hot and completely dry. Boil metal lids and rubber seals for 10 mins, then leave to dry.
